short month

Twenty-eight days max

A short month is one with fewer than 31 days—February, April, June, September, and November.

The term most often refers to February, the only month with fewer than 30 days: Payroll always feels tight during the short month.

In business contexts, short months can affect billing cycles, quotas, and scheduling.
