Why four and not five?
Four weeks account for exactly 28 days, so every month is guaranteed four of each weekday. August 2024 runs 31 days, which leaves 3 days beyond four whole weeks, falling on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Monday is not among them, so the count stays at four.
When Monday does get a fifth
2024 has 5 months with five Mondays: January, April, July, September, December. August 2024 is not one of them, so anyone paid weekly on a Monday gets the usual four pay dates rather than a fifth.
Mondays in August across other years
The same month shifts forward a weekday each year, and two across a leap year, so the answer moves with it.
