Troubleshooting Login Issues
If you’re having trouble accessing your paystub:
- Double-check your Employee ID and password.
- Make sure your account is registered.
- Contact the Dollar General HR department or your store manager for reset assistance.
- Use a supported browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox).
Why Your DG Paystub Matters
Your paystub isn’t just a record of wages—it’s a vital document for:
- Applying for loans or rentals
- Filing taxes
- Disputing pay discrepancies
- Budgeting and saving
Checking it regularly ensures that you’re paid accurately and helps you keep financial documents in order.
When Are DG Paystubs Available
Dollar General typically issues paychecks on a weekly or bi-weekly basis, depending on your employment status and location. If you’ve enrolled in direct deposit, your earnings will be automatically transferred to your bank account on payday—usually every Friday. Your DG paystub becomes available the same day in the DGME portal, allowing you to review your wages and deductions in real-time. It’s a good practice to confirm that your direct deposit was successful and matches the figures on your paystub, ensuring everything aligns with your expectations.
Print or Save Your DG Paystub for Records
Keeping a copy of your DG paystub can be helpful for tax filing, loan applications, or personal record-keeping. Once you’ve logged into the DGME portal and selected your desired pay period, you can easily download or print your paystub. On most browsers, simply right-click and select “Print” or use the browser’s menu to save the document as a PDF. It’s wise to create a secure folder—either digital or physical—to organize your paystubs by date. This habit ensures quick access to proof of income whenever needed and protects against data loss or login issues.
Security Tips for Viewing Your DG Paystub
When accessing your DG paystub online, it’s important to keep your personal and payroll information secure. Always log in through the official DGME portal link and avoid using public or shared devices when possible. Make sure to log out completely after checking your paystub, especially on a shared computer or mobile device. Enable two-factor authentication if offered, and regularly update your password to prevent unauthorized access. Staying vigilant about online safety helps protect your sensitive data, including your Social Security number, bank details, and earnings information.

Whether you’re a new hire or a long-term team member, staying updated with your DG paystub is a crucial part of your employment at Dollar General. The DGME portal makes it simple to review your payroll records anytime, anywhere. Make it a habit to check your paystub after each payday to stay informed and in control of your finances.
