Why four and not five?
Four weeks account for exactly 28 days, so every month is guaranteed four of each weekday. April 2024 runs 30 days, which leaves 2 days beyond four whole weeks, falling on Monday and Tuesday. Friday is not among them, so the count stays at four.
When Friday does get a fifth
2024 has 4 months with five Fridays: March, May, August, November. April 2024 is not one of them, so anyone paid weekly on a Friday gets the usual four pay dates rather than a fifth.
Fridays in April across other years
The same month shifts forward a weekday each year, and two across a leap year, so the answer moves with it.
