Developers - What is ENTRYSEQ?

Question

I am developing an import file for Sage for an inhouse Onboarding program. I am importing in to the Employees table. 
 My limited understanding of ENTRYSEQ is that it has something to do with payroll being pulled and that number is changed when payroll is pulled. 
 If I am importing a batch of new hires should ENTRYSEQ be '0' for all or does it need to be a unique number for everyone? 
 The import function does not like it being left blank.

For every new employee, ENTRYSEQ is started with 0. Every time a payroll calculation is done, the ENTRYSEQ number will increment by 1 for all the employees that are part of the payroll calculation. For the import file, ENTRYSEQ is not required. The value can be blank. During import, ENTRYSEQ will default to 0 if the value is blank.
