Why 52?
A year of 366 days is 52 weeks and 2 days, so every weekday is guaranteed 52 appearances and the two spare days pick up a 53rd. In 2028 the spare days are Saturday and Sunday, and Thursday is not among them, so it stays at 52.
Months with five Thursdays
4 months in 2028 contain five Thursdays: March, June, August, November. For weekly or fortnightly pay dated on a Thursday, those are the months with an extra pay date.
