Paylocity Holding Corp: what insiders have been doing
Every trade that managers of Paylocity Holding Corp disclose to SEC (Form 4) is tracked on this page. The company sits in the Business Services sector and is based in Schaumburg, United States. It was founded in 1997. Over the twelve months to 18 October 2026, 146 filings were filed, from 25 insiders.
The flow runs one way only: 76 sales worth €26.6M, from 9 insiders, and no purchase. The largest single trade was a sale of €1.8M by Sarowitz Steven I, published on 11 August 2026, equal to 0.026% of the market capitalisation.
Between a trade and the moment it shows up on SEC (Form 4), the median delay is 3 days. US insiders must file a Form 4 within two business days of a trade. Keep in mind that insiders sell for many reasons unrelated to the outlook, from tax bills to estate planning.

Over the whole record (from 2021), the tally stands at no purchases and 299 sales. The 10-K for the year ended 30 June 2026 shows 1.77 bn USD of revenue and 269.7 m USD of net income.

About Paylocity Holding Corp
Paylocity Holding Corp. (ticker: PCTY) is a United States-based software company listed on the Nasdaq in the United States. Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Schaumburg, Illinois, Paylocity has built a strong position in cloud-based human capital management (HCM), with its roots in payroll and HR software and a broader evolution toward an integrated workforce platform. Over time, the company has expanded from core payroll processing into a wider suite that addresses employee lifecycle management, workforce engagement, and back-office workflow automation. ([investors.paylocity.com](https://investors.paylocity.com/news-releases/news-release-details/paylocity-advances-one-unified-hcm-and-finance-platform-launch?utm_source=openai))
Paylocity’s platform spans payroll, time and attendance, benefits administration, recruiting, onboarding, performance management, employee communication, recognition and rewards, HR analytics, and, more recently, finance- and spend-management capabilities. The company’s strategic narrative is centered on a unified, intuitive cloud platform that helps customers automate administrative work, improve compliance and visibility, and create a better employee experience. In 2025 and 2026, Paylocity also emphasized AI-enabled functionality, particularly in recruiting and workflow automation, as part of its product roadmap.

From a competitive standpoint, Paylocity operates in a crowded HCM market alongside both specialized payroll vendors and larger enterprise software suites. Its key differentiation is a mid-market focus, a reputation for ease of use, and a modular platform that increasingly connects HR, finance, and IT workflows. Recent operating results suggest the company continues to execute well, with recurring revenue growth and margin expansion reflecting healthy demand and a scalable operating model. ([investors.paylocity.com](https://investors.paylocity.com/news-releases/news-release-details/paylocity-announces-third-quarter-fiscal-year-2026-financial?utm_source=openai))
Recent developments have reinforced that strategy. In July 2025, Paylocity launched Paylocity for Finance, extending its platform into the office of the CFO with integrated spend management. In April 2026, the company announced and then completed the acquisition of Grayscale Labs, an AI-powered recruiting automation business designed to strengthen high-volume hiring capabilities. In its latest quarterly updates, Paylocity also highlighted continued revenue growth, improving profitability, and ongoing share repurchases, all of which point to solid cash generation and shareholder-return capacity.
