If you work at Dollar General, almost everything about your job lives behind one login: your pay stubs, your W2, 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.
You will also see it written as DG ME, with a space. Both spellings refer to the same Dollar General employee portal, so a search for either one lands you in the right place. The system itself is labelled DGme once you sign in.
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.
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.
Which official portal do you need?
| You want to | Use this official portal | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Schedule, HR info, personal details | webapps.dolgen.net/dgme2 | Sign in with Employee ID and password |
| Pay stubs and W2 forms | paystubportal.com/dollargeneral | Separate login from the main portal |
| Internal sign on | websso.dolgen.net | You usually reach this automatically |
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.

- Open the Payroll or Pay Stub section.

- Select the tax year you need.
- 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
- Sign in to the DGME employee portal with your Employee ID and password.
- Open the Schedule or Workforce section from your dashboard.
- You will be redirected to Legion, where your current and upcoming shifts appear in a weekly calendar view.
- Tap any shift to see the start time, end time and assigned role.
What you can do in Legion:
| Task | Where to find it |
|---|---|
| View upcoming shifts | Schedule calendar on the home screen |
| Request time off | Time Off or Availability menu |
| Swap a shift with a coworker | Shift Swap option inside the shift details |
| Pick up open shifts | Open 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 check your shifts in the official Workvivo app. For access issues, contact your store manager or the DG support line.

On your phone
Using DGME on Your Phone
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 employee app for company updates and quick access. 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.
- Open your mobile browser (Chrome or Safari) and go to the DGME portal.
- Enter your 8 digit Employee ID and password, then complete any security check.
- Tap Sign In to open your dashboard.
- 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.

Left the company
Former employee access
Left Dollar General but need an old paystub or W2? 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 W2 access typically opens in late January.
