Why four and not five?
Four weeks account for exactly 28 days, so every month is guaranteed four of each weekday. October 2028 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
2028 has 5 months with five Saturdays: January, April, July, September, December. October 2028 is not one of them, so anyone paid weekly on a Saturday gets the usual four pay dates rather than a fifth.
Saturdays in October across other years
The same month shifts forward a weekday each year, and two across a leap year, so the answer moves with it.
