Compensation and Retirement Disclosure [Abstract]
Employee Benefits	12. Employee Benefits Employee Savings Plan CBIZ sponsors a qualified 401(k) defined contribution plan that covers substantially all of its employees. Participating employees may elect to contribute, on a tax-deferred basis, up to 80% of their pre-tax annual compensation (subject to a maximum permissible contribution under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code). Matching contributions by CBIZ are 50% of the first 6% of base compensation that the participant contributes, and additional amounts may be contributed at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Participants may elect to invest their contributions in various funds including: equity, fixed income, stable value, and balanced — lifecycle funds. Employer contributions (net of forfeitures) made to the plan during the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 were approximately $9.0 million, $8.5 million and $7.9 million, respectively. Deferred Compensation Plan CBIZ sponsors a deferred compensation plan, under which certain members of management and other highly compensated employees may elect to defer receipt of a portion of their annual compensation, subject to maximum and minimum percentage limitations. The amount of compensation deferred under the plan is credited to each participant’s deferral account and a deferred compensation plan obligation is established by CBIZ. An amount equal to each participant’s compensation deferral is transferred into a rabbi trust and invested in various debt and equity securities as directed by the participants. The assets of the rabbi trust are held by CBIZ and recorded as “Assets of deferred compensation plan” in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Assets of the deferred compensation plan consist primarily of investments in mutual funds, money market funds and equity securities. The values of these investments are based on published market prices at the end of the period. Adjustments to the fair value of these investments are recorded in “Other income, net,” offset by the same adjustments to compensation expense (recorded as operating expenses or G&A expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income). For the year ended December 31, 2015, CBIZ recorded a loss of $0.7 million and for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, CBIZ recorded gains of $3.7 million and $8.2 million, respectively, related to these investments. These investments are specifically designated as available to CBIZ solely for the purpose of paying benefits under the deferred compensation plan. However, the investments in the rabbi trusts would be available to all unsecured general creditors in the event that CBIZ becomes insolvent. Deferred compensation plan obligations represent amounts due to plan participants and consist of accumulated participant deferrals and changes in fair value of investments thereon since the inception of the plan, net of withdrawals. This liability is an unsecured general obligation of CBIZ and is recorded as “Deferred compensation plan obligations” in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
