<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 1in">(e) On June 9, 2017, at the recommendation
of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the &quot;Board&quot;) of Barrett Business Services, Inc.
(&quot;BBSI&quot;), the Board adopted the Barrett Business Services, Inc., Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the
&quot;Plan&quot;). Effective July 1, 2017, each of BBSI's five executive officers will be permitted to defer receipt for
income tax purposes of up to 90% of his or her salary, as well as up to 100% of any incentive bonus payable to the officer,
whether discretionary or based on attainment of performance goals. Beginning January 1, 2018, BBSI intends to expand
availability to participate in the Plan to additional management  level employees selected by the Compensation Committee.
Deferred amounts will be credited to each participant's account and adjusted to reflect amounts of income, gain or loss as if
the amounts credited to such accounts had been invested in investment funds designated under the Plan and selected by the
participant. Participants are immediately vested in credits for their contributions to the Plan and related earnings.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 1in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 1in">The Plan does not provide for BBSI to make matching
contributions. However, the Compensation Committee approved the automatic grant of restricted stock units (&quot;RSUs&quot;) under
BBSI's 2015 Stock Incentive Plan, effective on each January 1 and July 1, with a dollar value (based on the closing price of BBSI's
common stock on the grant date or, if not a trading day, the next preceding trading day) equal to 35% of the amount deferred into
a participant's account in the Plan during the preceding six months; provided that the value of such RSUs granted to a single participant
may not exceed $75,000 in a calendar year. The RSUs will vest in full on the fifth anniversary of the grant date; provided that
the participant continues to be a BBSI employee on that date.</P>
