Executive Summary

Two Paylocity insiders, including director/10% owner Steven Sarowitz, sold a total of $627K in shares over a one-week window. Sarowitz's $617K sale is the dominant trade, but at 0.008% of PCTY's $7.6B market cap, the cluster is economically trivial and likely reflects routine portfolio diversification rather than a bearish signal.
