Spanish term

décimo tercer sueldo operativo

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Accounting general balance sheet
This is the description of one of the line items in a general balance sheet from Mexico.
The line underneath reads "décimo cuarto sueldo operativo".
They're both under the heading of "liabilities"

Thank you in advance for any ideas and suggestions regarding this term.

CLOSURE Based on the answers you all provided, I finally decided to use "first one-month salary bonus for employees." I think it's understandable this way. As far as I know, "wages" are not the same as "bonuses", and "thirteenth month bonus" does not convey the idea clearly. Anyway, thank you all for pointing me in the right direction.

Sueldo operativo operator's wages = employee's wages
Stuart and Aida Nelson Aug 21, 2018:
@ Helena I took into account your reference: It’s defined as “one twelfth (1/12) of the basic salary of an employee within a calendar year" and is given to non-managerial employees usually just before Christmas" and I know for sure that employees = operativos are mentioned in balance sheets. In any event, wages implies paying to employees, cheers.

@Aida I didn't post an answer because I wasn't (I'm not?) sure how to translate 'operativo'. If the source text mentions other kinds of wages, then 'operativo' could refer to operators. On the other hand, if there's no mention of administration and management staff, then 'employees' is fine. Unless, of course, 'sueldo operativo' is 'sueldo en operativo', whatever that could mean, and has nothing to do with staff!
Stuart and Aida Nelson Aug 21, 2018:
@ Helena - 'Wages payable for the thirteenth 'Wages payable for the thirteenth salary' is what you need. I only put (to employees) in brackets because I thought you guys were looking for a translation for 'operatives'. Just ignore the brackets including content.

@Giovanni I've had a quick search and from what I see, 'operativo' probably refers to the operators' salaries. You can also find 'sueldo administrativo'

Proposed translations

6 hrs

operating cost of the thirteenth salary of the year/Christmas Bonus

Operativo = costo operativo= operating cost

In many countries, mainly Christian, staffers receive thirteen salaries within one year and the thirteenth salary is called Christmas Bonus or aguinaldo in Mexico..

13th month bonus floor staff

Required by law in most countries in Latin America. The 14th bonus usually is required by collective agreement or individual contract.

Reference:

El mundo está a tan solo 22 días de vivir la Navidad y en ambiente laboral, formal, el entusiasmo crece pues las empresas deben pagar el Décimo Tercer Sueldo.

El plazo del pago vence el miércoles 24 de este mes, tal como lo dispone el Código de Trabajo.

Llamado también bono navideño, este décimo equivale a la doceava parte de la remuneración percibida por el trabajador durante un año calendario.

Aún cuando el plazo del pago vence en 21 días, muchos empleadores han decidido adelantar su entrega para evitarse inconvenientes y así colaborar con sus trabajadores.

I don't know if they're bonus payments or the 13th and 14th part of an annual salary, like in Spain.

Have you ever noticed that some months actually have 5 weeks instead of 4? Well, the employers in some countries have, and instead of paying their employees every month, they pay them every 4 weeks - and that’s where the 13th month comes from! It’s defined as “one twelfth (1/12) of the basic salary of an employee within a calendar year" and is given to non-managerial employees usually just before Christmas. Just in time for presents, bills... and the January sales! If you’re really lucky, you’ll find yourself a job somewhere where they pay a 14th (Easter) or even 15th (August) salary.
