Why four and not five?
Four weeks account for exactly 28 days, so every month is guaranteed four of each weekday. April 2028 runs 30 days, which leaves 2 days beyond four whole weeks, falling on Saturday and Sunday. Thursday is not among them, so the count stays at four.
When Thursday does get a fifth
2028 has 4 months with five Thursdays: March, June, August, November. April 2028 is not one of them, so anyone paid weekly on a Thursday gets the usual four pay dates rather than a fifth.
Thursdays in April across other years
The same month shifts forward a weekday each year, and two across a leap year, so the answer moves with it.
