Why five and not four?
Four weeks account for exactly 28 days, so every month is guaranteed four of each weekday. November 2024 runs 30 days, which leaves 2 days beyond four whole weeks, falling on Friday and Saturday. Friday is among them, which is why it appears a fifth time, on November 29.
Five Fridays and the payroll question
A month with five Fridays matters to anyone paid weekly or fortnightly on that day, because it produces an extra pay date inside the same calendar month. In 2024 that happens in March, May, August, November, so November 2024 is one of 4 months this year.
Fridays in November across other years
The same month shifts forward a weekday each year, and two across a leap year, so the answer moves with it.
