> I understand that "week year" is basically a payroll creation
It's not, it's a fiscal, or more generally business creation, allowing businesses to express everything in weekly basis, with no variance (all weeks are 7 days mon-sun with no fractionals, and every week belongs to a single year with no ambiguity).
This is very, very common usage in european businesses, and even casual settings, to the extent that you'll have a hard time finding a physical calendar without weeks printed on it.
