Why four and not five?
Four weeks account for exactly 28 days, so every month is guaranteed four of each weekday. March 2024 runs 31 days, which leaves 3 days beyond four whole weeks, falling on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Tuesday is not among them, so the count stays at four.
When Tuesday does get a fifth
2024 has 5 months with five Tuesdays: January, April, July, October, December. March 2024 is not one of them, so anyone paid weekly on a Tuesday gets the usual four pay dates rather than a fifth.
Tuesdays 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.
