Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION	THE COMPANY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Asure Software, Inc. (“Asure”, the “Company”, “we” and “our”), a Delaware corporation, is a provider of cloud-based Human Capital Management (“HCM”) software solutions delivered as Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) for small, medium-sized and enterprise-level businesses. We offer human resources (“HR”) tools necessary to build a thriving workforce, provide the resources to stay compliant with dynamic federal, state, and local tax jurisdictions and their respective labor laws, freeing cash flows so these businesses can spend their financial capital on growing their business rather than administrative overhead that can impede growth. Our solutions also provide new ways for employers to connect with their employees in order to enhance their relationships with their talent. Asure’s HCM suite (“Asure HCM”) includes Payroll & Tax solutions, Recruiting, HR compliance and services, Time & Attendance software, and data integrations that enable employers and their employees to enhance efficiencies and take advantage of value-added solutions, which we refer to as AsureMarketplace™. AsureMarketplace™ automates interactions between our HCM systems with third-party providers to enhance efficiency, improve accuracy and to extend the range of services offered to employers and their employees. Our approach to HR compliance services leverages technology and on-demand content to enhance scalability and efficiency while prioritizing client interactions. We offer our services directly and indirectly through our network of reseller partners. We strive to be the most trusted HCM resource to small, medium-sized (“SMBs”) and enterprise-level businesses. We target SMBs through less densely populated U.S. metropolitan cities where fewer of our competitors have a presence and have begun expansion of certain product lines to enterprise-level businesses. Our solutions solve three primary challenges that prevent businesses from growing: HR complexity, allocation of human and financial capital, and the ability to build great teams. We have and will continue to invest in research and development to expand our solutions. O ur solutions reduce the administrative burden on employers and increase employee productivity while managing the employment lifecycle. The Asure HCM suite includes six product lines: Asure Payroll & Tax, Asure Tax Management Solutions, Asure Time & Attendance, Asure Recruiting, Asure HR Compliance, and AsureMarketplace™. We develop, market, sell and support our offerings nationwide through our principal office in Austin, Texas and from our other office locations in Alabama, California, Florida, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Vermont. We have prepared the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position as of September 30, 2024, comprehensive loss and changes in stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023. Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements. These reclassifications had no effect on the consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations of the Company.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES USE OF ESTIMATES Preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve judgments. The more significant estimates made by management include the valuation allowance for the gross deferred tax assets, the determination of the fair value of its long-lived assets, and the fair value of assets acquired, and liabilities assumed during acquisitions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions management believes reasonable under the given circumstances. These estimates could be materially different under different conditions and assumptions. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS We consider all highly liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include investments in an institutional money market fund, which invests in U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds, and/or repurchase agreements, backed by such obligations. Carrying value approximates fair value. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740), which requires companies to disaggregate information about their effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard applies to all entities subject to income taxes. The standard becomes effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently evaluating this standard and the potential effects of these changes to our consolidated financial statements and will adopt this new standard in the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2025. In November 2023 , the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses for interim and annual periods. In addition, the standard requires public entities that have a single reportable segment to provide all the disclosures required by the standard and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently evaluating this standard and the potential effects of these changes to our consolidated financial statements and will adopt this new standard in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME & LOSS As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, accumulated other comprehensive income & loss consisted of net unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities.

Business Combination, Asset Acquisition, and Joint Venture Formation [Abstract]
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND ASSET ACQUISITIONS	BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND ASSET ACQUISITIONS 2024 Business Combinations Effective July 11, 2024, we purchased substantially all the assets of an applicant tracking technology company based out of South Dakota for an innovative hiring solution designed to streamline the recruitment process for small and mid-sized businesses. This strategic acquisition reinforces Asure’s commitment to delivering comprehensive, user-friendly tools that simplify people management. The aggregate purchase price paid for the business was $15,162, consisting of $7,900 paid in cash on hand, $3,000 in the form of a promissory note ($1,716 net of discount), and 525 shares of Asure common stock, which had a fair value of $4,262 on the day of acquisition. As of September 30, 2024, the promissory note had an outstanding principal balance of $3,000 and matures on July 1, 2029. The purchase consideration was allocated among the acquired assets, which consist of a customer relationships intangible asset with fair value of $2,700, and a developed technology intangible asset with a fair value of $3,200. Additionally, we assumed $237 of deferred revenue and $498 of other accrued liabilities as part of the transaction. The intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over eight The remaining $8,713 of excess purchase consideration was allocated to goodwill, which is expected to be fully deductible for tax purposes. This represents the knowledge and experience of the employees retained as part of the transaction as well as the synergies and economies of scale expected from expanding the Midwest operating region to a national scale.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT	INVESTMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 “Fair Value Measurement” (ASC 820) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 describes a fair value hierarchy based on the following three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable: Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities; and model-driven valuations whose significant inputs are observable; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the periods presented below (in thousands): Total Carrying Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 September 30, 2024 Assets: Funds held for clients Money market funds $ 4,255 $ 4,255 $ — $ — Available-for-sale securities 72,109 — 72,109 — Total $ 76,364 $ 4,255 $ 72,109 $ — December 31, 2023 Assets: Funds held for clients Money market funds $ 3,431 $ 3,431 $ — $ — Available-for-sale securities 71,770 — 71,770 — Total $ 75,201 $ 3,431 $ 71,770 $ — Cash equivalents and investments classified as available-for-sale within funds held for clients consisted of the following for the periods presented below (in thousands): Amortized Gross Unrealized Gains (1) Gross Unrealized Losses (1) Aggregate September 30, 2024 Cash equivalents $ 4,262 $ 1 $ (8) $ 4,255 Available-for-sale securities: Certificates of deposit 738 1 — 739 Corporate debt securities 65,241 528 (430) 65,339 Municipal bonds 3,716 — (119) 3,597 U.S. Government agency securities 2,422 30 (18) 2,434 Total available-for-sale securities 72,117 559 (567) 72,109 Total (2) $ 76,379 $ 560 $ (575) $ 76,364 December 31, 2023 Cash equivalents $ 3,447 $ — $ (16) $ 3,431 Available-for-sale securities: Certificates of deposit 845 2 (1) 846 Corporate debt securities 67,277 258 (1,090) 66,445 Municipal bonds 4,251 — (239) 4,012 U.S. Government agency securities 500 — (33) 467 Total available-for-sale securities 72,873 260 (1,363) 71,770 Total (2) $ 76,320 $ 260 $ (1,379) $ 75,201 (1) Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are included as a component of comprehensive loss. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 82 and 54 securities, respectively, in an unrealized gain position and there were 80 and 113 securities in an unrealized loss position, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, these unrealized losses were less than $35 individually and $576 in the aggregate. As of December 31, 2023, these unrealized losses were less than $61 individually and $1,363 in the aggregate. We invest in high quality securities with roughly 70% of our portfolio made up of A ratings and above with unrealized losses primarily attributable to macroeconomic factors rather than credit related. These securities have not been in a continuous unrealized gain or loss position for more than 12 months. We do not intend to sell these investments and we do not expect to sell these investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity. We review our investments to identify and evaluate investments that indicate possible credit losses. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is a credit loss include the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the cost basis, the credit rating of the investment, and our intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value. (2) At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, none of these securities were classified as cash and cash equivalents on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

This factor contributed to a purchase price that was in excess of the fair value of the net assets acquired and, as a result, we recorded goodwill for each acquisition. A portion of acquired goodwill will be amortizable for tax purposes. As of September 30, 2024, there has been no impairment of goodwill based on the qualitative assessments performed by the Company.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
NET LOSS PER SHARE	NET LOSS PER SHARE We compute net income or loss per share based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share reflects the maximum dilution that would have resulted from incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options or vesting of RSUs and in some cases PSUs. In periods of net income, we compute the adjustment to the denominator of our dilutive net earnings per share calculation to include these stock options, RSUs, and PSUs, as applicable, using the treasury stock method. Regardless of the period resulting in net income or net loss, we exclude the adjustment to the denominator of our dilutive net loss per share calculation to the extent that they are anti-dilutive. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per common share for the periods presented below (in thousands, except per share amounts): Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024 2023 2024 2023 Basic: Net loss $ (3,901) $ (2,206) $ (8,569) $ (5,632) Weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding 26,429 22,591 25,870 21,204 Basic loss per share $ (0.15) $ (0.10) $ (0.33) $ (0.27) Diluted: Net loss $ (3,901) $ (2,206) $ (8,569) $ (5,632) Weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding 26,429 22,591 25,870 21,204 Diluted loss per share $ (0.15) $ (0.10) $ (0.33) $ (0.27)

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On October 31, 2024, the Company entered into a Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Roth Capital Partners, LLC ("Roth”). The Sales Agreement provides for the offer and sale of up to $25,000 of the Company’s newly issued Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), from time to time through an “at the market offering” program. The Company will specify the parameters for the sale of the shares of Common Stock, including the number of shares to be issued, the time period during which sales are requested to be made, any limitation on the number of shares that may be sold in any one trading day and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. The Company may offer and sell up to $25,000 of shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement. Actual sales of Common Stock under the Sales Agreement will depend on a variety of factors including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of the Common Stock and potential funding needs. As a result, the full amount of capital may not be fully realized. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from these at-market offerings, if any, for general corporate purposes. The Company's general corporate purposes include, but are not limited to, repayment or refinancing of debt, capital expenditures, funding possible acquisitions, working capital and satisfaction of other obligations.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Use of Estimates	USE OF ESTIMATES Preparation of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of the assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve judgments. The more significant estimates made by management include the valuation allowance for the gross deferred tax assets, the determination of the fair value of its long-lived assets, and the fair value of assets acquired, and liabilities assumed during acquisitions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions management believes reasonable under the given circumstances. These estimates could be materially different under different conditions and assumptions.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash	CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (Topic 740), which requires companies to disaggregate information about their effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The standard applies to all entities subject to income taxes. The standard becomes effective for public entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently evaluating this standard and the potential effects of these changes to our consolidated financial statements and will adopt this new standard in the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2025. In November 2023 , the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses for interim and annual periods. In addition, the standard requires public entities that have a single reportable segment to provide all the disclosures required by the standard and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently evaluating this standard and the potential effects of these changes to our consolidated financial statements and will adopt this new standard in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss	ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME & LOSS As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, accumulated other comprehensive income & loss consisted of net unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy	Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820 “Fair Value Measurement” (ASC 820) defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under U.S. GAAP and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC 820 describes a fair value hierarchy based on the following three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable: Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: Quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active for identical or similar assets or liabilities; and model-driven valuations whose significant inputs are observable; and Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 82 and 54 securities, respectively, in an unrealized gain position and there were 80 and 113 securities in an unrealized loss position, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, these unrealized losses were less than $35 individually and $576 in the aggregate. As of December 31, 2023, these unrealized losses were less than $61 individually and $1,363 in the aggregate. We invest in high quality securities with roughly 70% of our portfolio made up of A ratings and above with unrealized losses primarily attributable to macroeconomic factors rather than credit related. These securities have not been in a continuous unrealized gain or loss position for more than 12 months. We do not intend to sell these investments and we do not expect to sell these investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity. We review our investments to identify and evaluate investments that indicate possible credit losses. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is a credit loss include the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the cost basis, the credit rating of the investment, and our intent and ability to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.
