Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract] |
Stockholders' Equity Note Disclosure [Text Block] | NOTE 8 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM Pursuant to Asure’s stock repurchase plan, we may repurchase up to 450,000 shares of our common stock. We have repurchased a total of 384,000 shares for approximately $5,000 over the life of the plan. Management will periodically assess repurchasing additional shares, depending on our cash position, market conditions, financial covenants and other factors. While the program remains in place, we did not repurchase any shares during 2016 or 2015. STOCK AND STOCK OPTION PLANS Asure has one active equity plan, the 2009 Equity Plan (the “2009 Plan”). The 2009 Plan provides for the issuance of non-qualified and incentive stock options to our employees and consultants. We generally grant stock options with exercise prices greater than or equal to the fair market value at the time of grant. The options generally vest over three to four years and are exercisable for a period of five to ten years beginning with the date of grant. Our shareholders approved an amendment to the 2009 Plan in June 2014 to increase the number of shares reserved under the plan from 1,200,000 to 1,400,000. We have a total of 614,000 options granted and outstanding pursuant to the 2009 Plan as of December 31, 2016. We use the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value employee stock awards. We estimate stock price volatility based upon our historical volatility. Estimated option life and forfeiture rate assumptions are derived from historical data. For stock-based compensation awards with graded vesting, we recognize compensation expense using the straight-line amortization method. Total compensation expense recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss for stock based awards was $226 and $409 for 2016 and 2015, respectively. The following table summarizes the assumptions used to develop their fair value for 2016 and 2015:
|  | Year Ended December 31, |
|  | 2016 |  |  | 2015 |
Risk-free interest rate |  |  | .97 | % |  |  | 1.90 | %

Expected life in years |  |  | 3.44 |  |  |  | 3.61 |
