Every Wednesday in February 2024
| # | Date | Day of year |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | February 7, 2024 | 38 |

Why four and not five?
Four weeks account for exactly 28 days, so every month is guaranteed four of each weekday. February 2024 runs 29 days, one more than four whole weeks, and that spare day is a Thursday. It is not a Wednesday, so the count stays at four.
When Wednesday does get a fifth
2024 has 4 months with five Wednesdays: January, May, July, October. February 2024 is not one of them, so anyone paid weekly on a Wednesday gets the usual four pay dates rather than a fifth.
Wednesdays in February across other years
The same month shifts forward a weekday each year, and two across a leap year, so the answer moves with it.
