What’s the difference between a dash and a zero in Payroll Sheet cells?

Value Meaning
— (dash) The salary component isn’t in this employee’s payslip.
0 (zero) The component is in the payslip, but its value is zero (such as a component whose condition wasn’t met).
  • Typing a number in a cell with a dash adds the component to the payslip with that value.
  • Clearing a cell’s value (so it becomes a dash) removes the component from the payslip on saving.
  • A dash appears in Pay Date for unpaid payslips.
