Why four and not five?
Four weeks account for exactly 28 days, so every month is guaranteed four of each weekday. March 2026 runs 31 days, which leaves 3 days beyond four whole weeks, falling on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Saturday is not among them, so the count stays at four.
When Saturday does get a fifth
2026 has 4 months with five Saturdays: January, May, August, October. March 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 March across other years
The same month shifts forward a weekday each year, and two across a leap year, so the answer moves with it.
