Zoho People U.S. Compensation Setup

Zoho People U.S. Compensation Setup

We're new to Zoho and Zoho People Plus. So far, we like what we see as an HRIS system to suit our small USA-based (under 20-person) non-profit. However, we can't figure out how to configure the Compensation Service to reflect our workplace.

We'd simply like to use the Compensation Service as a way to keep records on monthly or hourly pay rate as well as raise, promotion, and bonus dates and dollar amounts for each employee.

Question 1: Most of our monthly, but some our annual. Can Compensation be used to configure two Salary Packages -- one for monthly, one for annually? is there another way to do this?

Question 2: How can we achieve our simple need to show a table of the highlighted info above? 

Compensation Service gives us a choice a choice for a simple or split CTC approach. The simple option does not allow for one-time bonuses. If we use the split option, I see how we can incorporate bonuses as an annual lump sum (or benefit), but there are no views to allow us to see this information. Custom views do not permit seeing CTC components, only the total. I hope I've overlooked a simple approach, but I've spent a few days studying the guides and this simple need seems impossible.

Thanks for any ideas/help.
