Every Thursday in March 2029

Why five and not four?

Four weeks account for exactly 28 days, so every month is guaranteed four of each weekday. March 2029 runs 31 days, which leaves 3 days beyond four whole weeks, falling on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Thursday is among them, which is why it appears a fifth time, on March 29.

Five Thursdays and the payroll question

A month with five Thursdays matters to anyone paid weekly or fortnightly on that day, because it produces an extra pay date inside the same calendar month. In 2029 that happens in March, May, August, November, so March 2029 is one of 4 months this year.

Thursdays 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.
