Why four and not five?
Four weeks account for exactly 28 days, so every month is guaranteed four of each weekday. October 2027 runs 31 days, which leaves 3 days beyond four whole weeks, falling on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Thursday is not among them, so the count stays at four.
When Thursday does get a fifth
2027 has 4 months with five Thursdays: April, July, September, December. October 2027 is not one of them, so anyone paid weekly on a Thursday gets the usual four pay dates rather than a fifth.
Thursdays 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.
