Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent Events On November 10, 2017, an aggregate of 93,125 shares of common stock of the Company were issued to the non-employee members of the Company's Board of Directors, in accordance with DLH's compensation policy for non-employee directors. The shares vested immediately, and stock expense of approximately $563 thousand was recognized accordingly. This transaction will be reflected in the Company's first quarter results for fiscal year 2018. On November 29-December 1, 2017, the Company granted 217,500 incentive stock options to certain executive and non-executive employees, pursuant to the Company's 2016 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan. The options will vest and become exercisable upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. Subsequent to our fiscal year end, both branches of Congress passed major federal tax reform legislation. While the exact terms of the legislation will not be finalized until the reconciliation process is completed, the resulting bill may have a material impact to our business. The tax effects resulting from any changes in tax laws or tax rates are not permitted to be recognized until the period that includes the enactment date, which will occur when a bill is signed into law, and subjected to the full legislative process. The Company is closely monitoring the proposed legislation and is prepared to quantify and recognize any potential impact in the period in which the legislation is enacted. Management has evaluated subsequent events through the date that the Company's financial statements were issued. Based on this evaluation, the Company has determined that no further subsequent events have occurred which require disclosure through the date that these financial statements were issued.
