Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation, Consolidation and the Use of Estimates | Basis of Presentation, Consolidation and the Use of Estimates The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Ultimate have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The information in this quarterly report should be read in conjunction with Ultimate’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Ultimate’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the SEC on February 24, 2017 (the “Form 10-K”). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of Ultimate’s management, necessary for a fair presentation of the information for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Interim results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full fiscal year or for any future periods. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the financial position and operating results of Ultimate and include its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Ultimate’s significant accounting policies discussed in Note 3 to its audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 , included in the Form 10-K, have not significantly changed. In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-09, “ Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ” (“ASU 2016-09”). The standard amends the accounting for certain aspects of share-based payments to employees. We elected to early adopt the new guidance in the third quarter of fiscal year 2016. Therefore, the prior year numbers in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income, our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income, our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of cash flows, our non-GAAP financial measures and our notes to unaudited condensed financial statements reflect revised numbers in accordance with the adoption of this guidance. Our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets were not impacted. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Ultimate's financial instruments, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, capital lease obligations and other long-term liabilities, approximated fair value (due to their relatively short maturity) as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . Marketable securities included in funds held for customers and the related obligations consist primarily of securities classified as available-for-sale and are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("Topic 606)”. Topic 606 supersedes the revenue requirements in ASU Topic 605, Revenue Recognition ("Topic 605") and requires the recognition of revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services and includes Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs - Contracts with Customers, which discusses the deferral if incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer, including the period of amortization of such costs. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Collectively, we refer to Topic 606 and Subtopic 340-40 as the "new standard". Topic 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing GAAP, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation, among others. We began assessing the new standard in 2016 and have continued our assessment during 2017 to address the potential impact that Topic 606 could have on our consolidated financial statements and the required resources to implement the new standard. Our assessment of the impact included an evaluation of the five step process along with the enhancement of disclosures that will be required under the new standard. We have developed our initial plan for implementing the new standard, which includes, but is not limited to, identifying contract populations and "in scope" customer contracts, identifying performance obligations in those customer contracts, and evaluating any impact of variable consideration. Our assessment also includes determining the impact the new standard may have on the revenue reporting processes, including disclosures, ensuring internal controls will operate effectively with the new standard and performing gap analyses on collected data and determining the relative accounting positions where applicable. Included in our assessment of the new standard, we are focused on the potential impact on sales commissions and the term over which they will amortize. We anticipate this standard will not have a material impact on the way we recognize revenues. The new standard will require us to defer incremental commission costs to obtain related subscription contracts over the period of benefit. While we are still assessing the period of benefit, we have concluded that it will be longer than the amortization period under existing GAAP. Under current GAAP, we defer only direct and incremental commission costs to obtain a contract and amortize those costs over the term of the related subscription contract, which is generally 2 - 3 years. We are still evaluating the overall effect the new standard will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Topic 606 is effective for Ultimate on January 1, 2018 using either of two transition methods including several practical expedients: (1) full retrospective method, in which the new standard would be applied to each prior reporting period presented or (2) the modified retrospective method, in which the cumulative effect of initially applying the new standard would be recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures as defined per the new standard. Ultimate has not yet selected a transition method. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases" ("ASU 2016-02"), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard is effective for Ultimate on January 1, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The standard requires lessees and lessors to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. We are evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We have not yet determined the effect the standard will have on our ongoing financial reporting. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): "Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes" ("ASU 2015-17”). ASU 2015-17 requires entities to offset all deferred tax assets and liabilities (and valuation allowances) for each tax-paying jurisdiction within each tax-paying component and present the net deferred tax as a single noncurrent amount in a classified balance sheet. Effective January 1, 2017 the Company adopted ASU 2015-17. Subsequent to adoption, all deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are presented as non-current on the consolidated balance sheet. The changes have been applied prospectively as permitted by the ASU and prior years have not been restated. The adoption of this ASU does not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. |

Investments in Marketable Securities and Fair Value of Financial Instruments [Abstract] | |
Funds held for Customers, Corporate Investments in Marketable Securities and Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Funds held for Customers, Corporate Investments in Marketable Securities and Fair Value of Financial Instruments We classify our investments in marketable securities with readily determinable fair values as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities consist of debt and equity securities not classified as trading securities or as securities to be held to maturity. Unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, on available-for-sale securities are reported as a net amount in accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity until realized. Realized gains and losses resulting from available-for-sale securities are included in other income, net, in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. There were no significant reclassifications of realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities to the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 . Gains and losses on the sale of available-for-sale securities are determined using the specific identification method. There was $406 thousand and $145 thousand of net unrealized loss on available-for-sale securities as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively. The amortized cost, net unrealized loss and fair value of our funds held for customers and corporate investments in marketable available-for-sale securities as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are shown below (in thousands): As of September 30, 2017 As of December 31, 2016 Amortized Cost Net Unrealized Gain/(Loss) Fair Value (1) Amortized Cost Net Unrealized (Loss)/Gain Fair Value (1) Type of issue: Funds held for customers – money market securities and other cash equivalents $ 268,903 $ — $ 268,903 $ 316,353 $ — $ 316,353 Available-for-sale securities: Corporate debentures – bonds 4,173 (4 ) 4,169 10,175 (3 ) 10,172 Commercial paper — — — 1,446 — 1,446 U.S. Agency bonds 209,444 (390 ) 209,054 148,939 (125 ) 148,814 U.S. Treasury bills 7,328 (12 ) 7,316 9,586 (18 ) 9,568 Asset-Backed securities 728 — 728 2,901 1 2,902 Total corporate investments and funds held for customers $ 490,576 $ (406 ) $ 490,170 $ 489,400 $ (145 ) $ 489,255 _________________ (1) Included within available-for-sale securities as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are corporate investments with fair values of $12.2 million and $24.1 million , respectively.

Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 - Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable. A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assets that are measured by management at fair value on a recurring basis are generally classified within Level 1 or Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. We have had assets in the past, and may have assets in the future, classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. No assets or investments were classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2017 or as of December 31, 2016 . We did not have any transfers into and out of Level 1 or Level 2 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 or the twelve months ended December 31, 2016 . No assets or investments were classified as Level 3 as of September 30, 2017 or as of December 31, 2016 . The types of instruments valued by management, based on quoted prices in less active markets, broker or dealer quotations, or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency, include corporate debentures and bonds, commercial paper, U.S. agency bonds and U.S. Treasury bills and asset-backed securities owned by Ultimate. Such instruments are generally classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Ultimate uses consensus pricing, which is based on multiple pricing sources, to value its fixed income investments. The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, financial assets accounted for at fair value as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (in thousands): As of September 30, 2017 As of December 31, 2016 Total (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Total (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Corporate debentures – bonds $ 4,169 $ — $ 4,169 $ — $ 10,172 $ — $ 10,172 $ — Commercial paper — — — — 1,446 — 1,446 — U.S. Agency bonds 209,054 — 209,054 — 148,814 — 148,814 — U.S. Treasury bills 7,316 — 7,316 — 9,568 — 9,568 — Asset-Backed securities 728 — 728 — 2,902 — 2,902 — Total $ 221,267 $ — $ 221,267 $ — $ 172,902 $ — $ 172,902 $ — Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis were presented in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2017 and the audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016 as short-term and long-term investments in marketable securities.

Property, Plant and Equipment [Abstract] | |
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Property and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from 2 to 15 years. Leasehold improvements and assets under capital leases are amortized over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the term of the lease, which range from 3 to 15 years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred; betterments are capitalized. Upon the sale or retirement of assets, the cost, accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is recognized. Property and equipment as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 consist of the following (in thousands): As of September 30, 2017 As of December 31, 2016 Computer equipment $ 184,718 $ 166,420 Internal-use software 161,645 113,407 Leasehold improvements 42,858 36,095 Other property and equipment 22,167 18,661 Property and equipment 411,388 334,583 Less: accumulated depreciation and amortization 178,217 155,025 Property and equipment, net $ 233,171 $ 179,558 We capitalize computer software development costs related to software developed for internal use in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 350-40, Intangibles Goodwill and Other-Internal Use Software. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , we capitalized $13.9 million and $40.1 million , respectively, of computer software development costs related to a development project to be sold in the future as a cloud product only (the "Development Project"). There were $9.2 million and $26.2 million of software development costs related to the Development Project which were capitalized in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 , respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 , these capitalized costs were primarily direct labor costs. As a component of these direct labor costs we capitalized $1.0 million and $3.0 million of stock-based compensation costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 , we capitalized $1.0 million and $2.8 million , respectively, of stock-based compensation costs. These capitalized costs are included with internal-use software in property and equipment in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet and purchases of property and equipment in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Internal-use software is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life, commencing after the software development is substantially complete and the software is ready for its intended use. At each balance sheet date, we evaluate the useful lives of these assets and test for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 there were $1.0 million and $3.1 million , respectively, of amortization associated with certain product modules of the Development Project which were ready for their intended use. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 there were $0.3 million and $0.8 million , respectively, of amortization associated with certain product modules of the Development Project which were ready for their intended use. The amortization of capitalized software is included in cost of recurring revenues. |

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Goodwill and Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of cost over the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of acquired businesses. Goodwill amounts are not amortized, but rather tested for impairment at least annually. Identifiable intangible assets acquired in business combinations are recorded based upon fair value at the date of acquisition and amortized over their estimated useful lives. The changes in the carrying value of goodwill since December 31, 2016 were as follows (in thousands): Goodwill, December 31, 2016 $ 35,322 Translation adjustment for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 (1) 537 Goodwill, September 30, 2017 $ 35,859 __________________________ (1) Represents the impact of the foreign currency translation of the portion of goodwill that is recorded by our Canadian subsidiary whose functional currency is also its local currency. Such goodwill is translated into U.S. dollars using exchange rates in effect at period end. Adjustments related to foreign currency translation are included in other comprehensive income (loss).

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Earnings Per Share | Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders (the numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (the denominator) for the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares had been issued. The following table is a reconciliation of the shares of Ultimate's issued and outstanding $0.01 par value common stock ("Common Stock") used in the computation of basic and diluted net income per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands): For the Three Months Ended September 30, For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Basic weighted average shares outstanding 29,848 28,977 29,713 28,901 Effect of dilutive equity instruments 922 1,498 1,014 1,459 Diluted weighted average shares outstanding 30,770 30,475 30,727 30,360 Options to purchase shares of Common Stock and other stock-based awards outstanding which are not included in the calculation of diluted income per share because their impact is anti-dilutive 2 — 1 11 |

Foreign Currency [Abstract] | |
Foreign Currency | Foreign Currency The financial statements of Ultimate’s foreign subsidiary, The Ultimate Software Group of Canada, Inc. (“Ultimate Canada”), have been translated into U.S. dollars. The functional currency of Ultimate Canada is the Canadian dollar. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates. Income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the reporting period. The resulting translation adjustments, representing unrealized gains or losses, are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions are included in total operating expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income. There were no significant realized gains and losses resulting from foreign exchange transactions to the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 . For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , Ultimate had unrealized translation gains of $0.9 million and $1.5 million , respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 , Ultimate had unrealized translation loss es of $0.3 million and $1.3 million , respectively. Included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, as presented in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, are cumulative unrealized translation losses of $5.4 million as of September 30, 2017 and $6.9 million as of December 31, 2016 . |

Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation Summary of Plans Our Amended and Restated 2005 Equity and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) authorizes the grant of options (“Options”) to non-employee directors, officers and employees of Ultimate to purchase shares of Common Stock. The Plan also authorizes the grant to such persons of restricted and non-restricted shares of Common Stock, stock appreciation rights, stock units and cash performance awards (collectively, together with the Options, the “Awards”). As of September 30, 2017 , the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that were available to be issued under all Awards granted under the Plan was 682,075 shares. The following table sets forth the non-cash stock-based compensation expense resulting from stock-based arrangements that were recorded in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income for the periods indicated (in thousands): For the Three Months Ended September 30, For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2017 2016 2017 2016 Non-cash stock-based compensation expense: Cost of recurring revenues $ 3,072 $ 2,208 $ 8,869 $ 6,306 Cost of services revenues 2,010 1,543 5,934 4,564 Sales and marketing 19,910 15,236 57,106 43,919 Research and development 3,093 2,160 9,004 5,927 General and administrative 9,929 8,198 30,245 23,685 Total non-cash stock-based compensation expense $ 38,014 $ 29,345 $ 111,158 $ 84,401 Stock-based compensation for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $38.0 million and $111.2 million , respectively, as compared with stock-based compensation of $29.3 million and $84.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 , respectively. The increases of $8.7 million and $26.8 million in stock-based compensation for the three and nine month periods, respectively, included increases of $5.8 million and $16.3 million , respectively, associated with modifications and terminations made to the Company’s change in control plans in March 2015, February 2016, and February 2017. These changes were made to better align management's incentives with long-term value creation for our shareholders. As part of the modifications in connection with the terminations of the change in control plans, time-based restricted stock awards (vesting over three years) were granted to certain senior officers in March 2015, February 2016, and February 2017. Net cash proceeds from the exercise of Options were $0.5 million and $5.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , respectively, and $0.9 million and $3.6 million , for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 , respectively. Stock Option, Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Unit Activity There were no Options granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 .

The amount of the aggregate intrinsic value changes, based on the fair value of Common Stock. Total intrinsic value of Options exercised was $31.3 million and $59.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 , respectively, and $6.5 million and $24.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 , respectively. All previously granted Options were fully vested as of December 31, 2011 and, therefore, no Options vested during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 , respectively.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments Ultimate's financial instruments, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, capital lease obligations and other long-term liabilities, approximated fair value (due to their relatively short maturity) as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 . |
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Standards | Recently Issued Accounting Standards In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("Topic 606)”. Topic 606 supersedes the revenue requirements in ASU Topic 605, Revenue Recognition ("Topic 605") and requires the recognition of revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received for those goods or services and includes Subtopic 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs - Contracts with Customers, which discusses the deferral if incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer, including the period of amortization of such costs. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Collectively, we refer to Topic 606 and Subtopic 340-40 as the "new standard". Topic 606 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing GAAP, including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation, among others. We began assessing the new standard in 2016 and have continued our assessment during 2017 to address the potential impact that Topic 606 could have on our consolidated financial statements and the required resources to implement the new standard. Our assessment of the impact included an evaluation of the five step process along with the enhancement of disclosures that will be required under the new standard. We have developed our initial plan for implementing the new standard, which includes, but is not limited to, identifying contract populations and "in scope" customer contracts, identifying performance obligations in those customer contracts, and evaluating any impact of variable consideration. Our assessment also includes determining the impact the new standard may have on the revenue reporting processes, including disclosures, ensuring internal controls will operate effectively with the new standard and performing gap analyses on collected data and determining the relative accounting positions where applicable. Included in our assessment of the new standard, we are focused on the potential impact on sales commissions and the term over which they will amortize. We anticipate this standard will not have a material impact on the way we recognize revenues. The new standard will require us to defer incremental commission costs to obtain related subscription contracts over the period of benefit. While we are still assessing the period of benefit, we have concluded that it will be longer than the amortization period under existing GAAP. Under current GAAP, we defer only direct and incremental commission costs to obtain a contract and amortize those costs over the term of the related subscription contract, which is generally 2 - 3 years. We are still evaluating the overall effect the new standard will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. Topic 606 is effective for Ultimate on January 1, 2018 using either of two transition methods including several practical expedients: (1) full retrospective method, in which the new standard would be applied to each prior reporting period presented or (2) the modified retrospective method, in which the cumulative effect of initially applying the new standard would be recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures as defined per the new standard. Ultimate has not yet selected a transition method. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases" ("ASU 2016-02"), to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The new standard is effective for Ultimate on January 1, 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The standard requires lessees and lessors to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. We are evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We have not yet determined the effect the standard will have on our ongoing financial reporting. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740): "Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes" ("ASU 2015-17”). ASU 2015-17 requires entities to offset all deferred tax assets and liabilities (and valuation allowances) for each tax-paying jurisdiction within each tax-paying component and present the net deferred tax as a single noncurrent amount in a classified balance sheet. Effective January 1, 2017 the Company adopted ASU 2015-17. Subsequent to adoption, all deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are presented as non-current on the consolidated balance sheet. The changes have been applied prospectively as permitted by the ASU and prior years have not been restated. The adoption of this ASU does not have a material effect on the Company's results of operations, financial condition or liquidity. |
