Ah, you're right. Yeah, that's exactly what it does. It worked
for the first few dates and I missed that it failed for June,
sorry.

The following should work:

    REM Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri SATISFY [nonomitted(date($Ty,$Tm,1), $T+1, "Sat", "Sun") == 4] MSG Payday

I'm sure there's a better (and more efficient) way to do it (I'm
no remind expert), but it should work fine.
