The company has leased 309,000 square feet of office space in the former headquarters of Zurich Insurance North America in Schaumburg, Illinois. The move was completed in 2019.[5]

It was one of the 5,000 fastest growing private companies according to Inc. Magazine in 2003, 2004, and from 2007 to 2014.[6] The company was also included in the Deloitte Fast 500 as one of the fastest growing technology companies in 2013,[7] 2014,[8] and 2015.[9]

Paylocity held an initial public offering (IPO) in March 2014, raising about $120 million.[10]
