Access Compass Pay Stubs Safely from Your Phone

ESS Mobility gives eligible Compass Group associates a mobile-friendly route to pay stubs, W-2 forms, schedules, timesheets and other role-based employee tools.

This guide shows the safest login route, where to look for a pay stub, how to check the figures, and what to do when the portal does not work as expected.

Quick answer

Open ess.compassassociate.com on your phone. Hourly associates who do not use OMS generally sign in with their existing Compass Associate Portal credentials. Managers and hourly administrators with OMS access use their OMS credentials. After login, open More and choose Paystubs.

What Is ESS Mobility?

ESS means Employee Self Service. ESS Mobility is the mobile-access portion of the Compass employee system. It is designed for use in a smartphone or tablet browser, although the exact menus shown after login depend on your job role and account permissions.

It is not simply a public pay-stub website. Access is connected to an active or eligible employee record, and the system displays only the tools assigned to that user.

Frontline or hourly associate tools

  • View and download paycheck stubs
  • View available W-2 forms
  • Review personal schedules and timesheets
  • See PTO balances when enabled
  • Use Mobile Punch or labor-pool features when assigned

Manager or hourly administrator tools

  • View and download personal pay stubs
  • Review labor information
  • Manage assigned timesheet functions
  • Review or update schedules when permitted
  • Publish open shifts when the function is enabled
Important: Not every associate sees every feature. Business unit, position, work location, payroll setup and manager permissions can change what appears on the dashboard.

Choose the Correct Login Route Before You Start

Many login failures happen because an employee enters the right credentials on the wrong portal. Use the table below to identify the most suitable route.

Your situation Recommended route Credentials normally used Best next step
Frontline or hourly associate without OMS access ESS Mobility or Compass Associate Portal Existing CAP username and password Open More → Paystubs on mobile
Manager or hourly administrator with OMS ESS Mobility or OMS OMS credentials Use the role-based dashboard after login
New associate who has never registered Compass Associate Portal registration Create an account after employment verification Complete registration before using Mobility
Using a desktop or laptop Compass Associate Portal or OMS CAP or OMS credentials according to role Use the larger-screen portal for easier downloading
Former associate Official Compass payroll or W-2 support Access may depend on account status Call One HR option 2 instead of repeatedly retrying
Useful shortcut: CAP and ESS credentials have historically worked together. Do not create a second account simply because the mobile page looks different from the desktop portal.

ESS Mobility Login Steps

1

Open the official mobile address

Enter ess.compassassociate.com directly into your browser. The page requires JavaScript, so it may not work correctly when scripts are blocked.

Avoid search advertisements, copied login pages and websites asking you to submit your password outside the official system.

2

Use the credentials assigned to your role

Hourly associates without OMS access generally use their Compass Associate Portal credentials. Managers and hourly administrators with OMS access normally use their OMS login.

3

Complete any security prompt

Follow the authentication screen shown by the portal. Never approve an unexpected login request or verification prompt that you did not initiate.

4

Open the More menu

On the associate mobile interface, pay stubs have historically been located under More. Menu wording can change, so also look for Payroll, Pay, Paycheck or Paystubs.

5

Log out when finished

Close the pay-stub document and use the portal’s logout option, especially on a shared, borrowed or workplace device.

Security warning: This website does not provide a login form. Enter your personnel number, password, Social Security information and banking details only inside an official Compass-controlled system or when speaking through an authorized HR process.

How to View and Download a Compass Pay Stub

  1. Sign in to ESS Mobility using the correct credentials for your role.
  2. Tap More in the mobile navigation.
  3. Select Paystubs, Paychecks or the equivalent payroll option.
  4. Choose the pay date or pay period you need.
  5. Open the pay-stub record and review the details before downloading it.
  6. Use the browser’s download, share, print or save-to-files option.
  7. Log out after confirming the file was saved successfully.
Historical records: Compass’s hourly-associate guidance states that CAP can include paycheck stubs for the current year and the previous three years. The amount of history shown in ESS Mobility may vary, so try CAP on a desktop if an older record is not visible on mobile.
Example of an older ESS Mobility paystub list screen
This is an older interface example showing Paystub under the More menu. It is retained only as a navigation reference; the current screen, dates and icons may look different.

How to save the file so you can find it later

Use a consistent filename instead of leaving the document with a generic download name. For example:

Recommended format: 2026-07-10_Compass_Paystub.pdf

Store payroll documents in a protected folder, encrypted cloud drive or password-secured device. Do not leave them in an open Downloads folder on a shared computer.

What to Check on Your Pay Stub

Downloading the document is only half the job. Review it while the pay period is still fresh, when your schedule and timecard are easier to remember.

Pay-period dates: Confirm the statement covers the period you expected.
Regular hours: Compare reported hours with your schedule or time record.
Overtime: Check whether eligible overtime hours and rates appear separately.
Gross pay: Verify earnings before deductions.
Taxes: Review federal, state and applicable local withholding.
Benefits: Check insurance, retirement and other elected deductions.
Net pay: Compare the final amount with the deposit or pay card.
Year-to-date totals: Look for unexpected jumps or missing amounts.

What to do when the amount appears wrong

  1. Confirm you opened the correct pay date and pay period.
  2. Compare the stub with your approved timecard, schedule or recorded hours.
  3. Write down the exact difference instead of saying only that the pay is incorrect.
  4. Ask your manager whether a timecard correction or payroll adjustment is pending.
  5. For unresolved payroll matters, contact Compass One HR and select option 2.
Faster support tip: Be ready with your personnel number, pay date, pay period, work location, manager name and a short description of the discrepancy. Do not send your complete Social Security number, password or bank-account number by ordinary email.

ESS Mobility Login Problems and Safe Fixes

Problem Likely cause Safe action
Invalid username or password Typing error, saved old password or wrong portal credentials Type the details manually, check Caps Lock and use the password-recovery option instead of guessing repeatedly
Forgotten password Password cannot be recalled or was recently changed Use Forgot Password on the CAP login page and follow the official recovery process
Registered email is no longer available Old personal or work email remains on the account Use the official Reset Account option when available or contact your manager or HR
Account appears locked Repeated failed login attempts or a security restriction Stop retrying, use account recovery and contact official support if recovery fails
Blank or white page JavaScript blocked, corrupted site data or outdated browser Enable JavaScript, update the browser, try a private tab and clear data only for the portal domain
Login redirects repeatedly Expired session, blocked cookies or conflicting saved login Close all portal tabs, reopen a private window and sign in once from the official address
Latest pay stub is missing Wrong pay date, payroll still processing or role-specific display delay Confirm the pay date with your manager, check CAP on desktop and call One HR option 2 if still missing
PDF will not open Popup blocked, download permission denied or browser viewer issue Allow the document to open, try Save to Files or use an updated desktop browser
Former employee cannot log in Active-employee access has changed or expired Use the official Compass payroll or W-2 support route rather than creating a duplicate account

Try these browser fixes in this order

  1. Confirm you are on the official domain.
  2. Close duplicate login tabs.
  3. Turn off automatic password filling for one attempt and enter the password manually.
  4. Open a private or incognito window.
  5. Confirm JavaScript and cookies are allowed for the portal.
  6. Update Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox.
  7. Try another trusted device or network.
  8. Contact support if the same error continues.

Useful ESS Mobility Shortcuts Employees Often Miss

1. Bookmark the page only after opening the official domain. A manually verified bookmark is safer than searching for the login page every payday.
2. Use the browser version before installing an app. The documented ESS Mobility route works through a smartphone browser. Do not trust an app merely because its name contains “ESS,” “Compass” or “payroll.”
3. Review the stub on every payday. Errors are easier to explain when you still remember the shifts, overtime, PTO and location worked during that pay period.
4. Save the exact error message. Write it down or capture a screenshot that excludes private payroll figures. “Invalid account,” “identity not found” and a blank screen require different fixes.
5. Use a desktop for older records. A larger-screen CAP session can be easier for locating historical stubs, choosing tax years and printing PDFs.
6. Stop after repeated failures. Continuing to guess passwords can make recovery harder. Switch to Forgot Password, Reset Account or official support.
7. Never pay to retrieve a pay stub. A website or individual asking for a fee, gift card or bank transfer to unlock an employee payroll account should be treated as suspicious.
