Compensation and Retirement Disclosure [Abstract]
Employee Benefit Plans	Employee Benefit Plans 401(k) Plan We maintain profit-sharing and 401(k) plans for employees meeting certain service requirements. Generally, the plans allow eligible employees to contribute a portion of their compensation, and we match $1.00 for every $1.00 on the first 1% of the employee's pre-tax contributions and $0.50 for every $1.00 up to the next 5% of the employee's pre-tax contributions. We may also make discretionary contributions each year for the benefit of all eligible employees under the plans. Total profit sharing and Agilysys matching contributions were $1.2 million, in fiscal 2014 and $1.1 million in fiscal 2013, and 2012, respectively. Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Agilysys provides certain former executives with life insurance benefits through endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements. We entered into a separate agreement with each of the former executives covered by these arrangements whereby we must maintain the life insurance policy for the specified amount and split a portion of the policy benefits with the former executive's designated beneficiary. In fiscal 2014, we increased the cash surrender value of one of these policies by $0.5 million due to the anticipated redemption and recorded the benefit in "Other (income) expenses, net” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. In fiscal 2012, we received $0.3 million for the redemption of several of the corporate-owned life insurance policies. The expense related to these benefit obligations is based on estimates developed by management by evaluating actuarial information and including assumptions with respect to discount rates and mortality. The expense associated with these benefits was classified within “General, and administrative” in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The related liability, which was $0.2 million at March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, was recorded within “Other non-current liabilities” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The aggregate cash surrender value of the underlying corporate-owned split-dollar life insurance contracts, which were classified within "Current assets" and “Other non-current assets” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, was $2.0 million and $2.4 million, respectively (net of policy loans of $0.2 million) at March 31, 2014. The aggregate cash surrender value of the underlying corporate-owned split-dollar life insurance contracts which were classified within "Other non-current assets” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets was $3.7 million million (net of policy loans of $0.2 million) at March 31, 2013. Changes in the cash surrender value of these policies related to gains and losses incurred on these investments are classified within “Other (income) expenses, net” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. We recorded a gain of $0.6 million dollars in fiscal 2014, a gain of $0.1 million in fiscal 2013 and a gain of $0.4 million in fiscal 2012 related to the corporate-owned life insurance policies.
