Dollar General Employee Portal

The clear, verified way to log in to DGME.

If you work at Dollar General, almost everything about your job lives behind one login: your pay stubs, your W-2, your schedule, your time off and your benefits. The problem is that there is more than one Dollar General system, the links look similar, and a search for “DGME login” often lands you on a copycat site instead of the real one. That is where mistakes and stolen passwords happen.

This page fixes that. In plain steps, it shows you exactly which official portal to use for each task, how to get in if you are locked out, and how to spot a fake site before you type a single detail. No guesswork, no credential requests, just the correct link and the next step.

What is DGME?

DGME is the online system Dollar General employees use to handle work tasks without going through HR in person. From your login you can reach your pay stubs, work schedule, W2 tax forms, benefits and personal details, from any device with internet.

It helps to know that DGME is not one single website. It is a set of connected official systems: the main portal on dolgen.net for HR, personal info and your schedule, plus a separate paystub portal for pay and tax forms. Using the right one for each task is exactly what keeps you off copycat sites.

Employees often ask what the letters stand for. DGME is commonly read as Dollar General Market Employee, though Dollar General does not publish an official meaning. What matters is what it does, not the letters.

Quick Answer

Most current employees log in at webapps.dolgen.net/dgme2 using their 8 digit Employee ID and password. Paystubs and W2 live on a separate system at paystubportal.com/dollargeneral. Pick the matching card below so you land on the right one the first time.

Anything that is not on dolgen.net or the official paystub portal is not Dollar General. Never enter your Employee ID or password on a lookalike site.

  • Your 8 digit Employee ID (EID)
  • Your DGME password
For first time registration or a password reset you also need your legal first name, the last four digits of your SSN, your date of birth, and a valid email address.
Do not know your Employee ID? Use the “Look up Employee ID” link on the login page, or follow our guide to finding your Employee ID.

Step by Step

How to log in to the DGME portal

If your account is already active, signing in takes under a minute. Use a desktop or laptop for paystubs and HR documents, since the mobile view sometimes hides the download buttons.

  1. Open webapps.dolgen.net/dgme2 in your browser.
  2. Enter your 8 digit Employee ID (EID) in the first field.
  3. Type your password, then complete any security check that appears.
  4. Select Sign In to reach your dashboard.

  3. Open the reset email from Dollar General and follow the link.

Your pay

View and download your paystub

Pay information lives on a different system from the main DGME portal. If your stub is not showing on payday, check again after 10 AM, since the system often updates later in the morning.

  1. Go to paystubportal.com/dollargeneral.
  2. Sign in with your Employee ID and password or PIN.
  3. Open the Payroll or Pay Stub section.
  4. Choose the pay period, then view, download or print it.

Tax season

Get your W-2 online

Dollar General releases W2 forms by January 31 each year. If you chose mailed delivery, confirm your address inside the portal is current, because an outdated address delays the paper copy.

  1. Sign in to the paystub portal.
  2. Open the Tax Forms or W-2 section.
  3. Select the tax year you need.
  4. Download or print the form for filing.

Your shifts

DGME Schedule: Check Your Work Schedule (Legion)

Dollar General manages employee schedules through Legion, a workforce management system connected to the DGME portal. Once you sign in, you can see your upcoming shifts, request time off and pick up extra hours without calling your store.

How to view your schedule:

  1. Sign in to the DGME employee portal with your Employee ID and password.
  2. Open the Schedule or Workforce section from your dashboard.
  3. You will be redirected to Legion, where your current and upcoming shifts appear in a weekly calendar view.
  4. Tap any shift to see the start time, end time and assigned role.

What you can do in Legion:

TaskWhere to find it
View upcoming shiftsSchedule calendar on the home screen
Request time offTime Off or Availability menu
Swap a shift with a coworkerShift Swap option inside the shift details
Pick up open shiftsOpen Shifts board, subject to manager approval

Tip: Schedules are usually posted in advance by your store manager. If your upcoming week looks empty, it may simply not be published yet, so check back later or confirm with your manager before assuming there is a login problem.

Trouble seeing your schedule? Make sure you are signing in through the official DGME portal first. If Legion does not load, clear your browser cache or try the mobile app. For access issues, contact your store manager or the DG support line.

On your phone

Using DGME on Your Phone

Quick answer

There are two official ways to use DGME on your phone. Open the web portal in your mobile browser for account and pay tasks, or install the official Workvivo app for company updates and quick access. Dollar General delivers its employee app through Workvivo, so there is no app named simply DGME in the stores, which is why many people think no app exists. A laptop is smoother for downloading pay stubs and W2 forms.

Option 1: The web portal in your browser

This is the same portal you use on a computer, and it handles everything account related.

  1. Open your mobile browser (Chrome or Safari) and go to webapps.dolgen.net/dgme2.
  2. Enter your 8 digit Employee ID and password, then complete any security check.
  3. Tap Sign In to open your dashboard.
  4. For pay stubs or W2 forms, switch to a laptop if the download buttons do not appear.

Option 2: The official app (Workvivo)

Dollar General delivers its employee app through Workvivo. There is no app named simply “DGME” in the stores, which is why many people think no app exists. Download Workvivo from the App Store or Google Play, sign in with your Employee ID and DGME password, and it opens as DGme. Use it for company updates, announcements and staying connected with your store. Your schedule also shows inside the app, but the full schedule tools like time off requests and shift swaps live in Legion through the web portal. Pay stubs and W2 forms still open on the separate pay stub portal.

Stay safe: the only official app is Workvivo. Ignore any other app that claims to be the Dollar General portal, and never enter your DGME login into an unofficial app.

Left the company

Former employee access

Left Dollar General but need an old paystub or W-2? You can usually still sign in to the paystub portal with your previous Employee ID and password. If your credentials expired, use Forgot Password and verify with your SSN. For tax season, former employee W-2 access typically opens in late January.

How to stay safe from fake DGME sites

Phishing pages copy the DGME look to steal Employee IDs. Four rules keep you safe:

  • Only type your login on a dolgen.net page or the official paystub portal.
  • Bookmark the correct link so you never search for it again.
  • This site never asks for your password. We only point you to the official portal.
  • Report suspicious emails to your store manager or HR, not to any third party site.
