Why four and not five?
Four weeks account for exactly 28 days, so every month is guaranteed four of each weekday. February 2026 is exactly four weeks and nothing more, so every weekday appears four times and none can reach five. February in a common year is the only month where that happens.
When Saturday does get a fifth
2026 has 4 months with five Saturdays: January, May, August, October. February 2026 is not one of them, so anyone paid weekly on a Saturday gets the usual four pay dates rather than a fifth.
Saturdays in February across other years
The same month shifts forward a weekday each year, and two across a leap year, so the answer moves with it.
