<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">(e)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On February&nbsp;25,
2019, the Compensation Committee (the &quot;Committee&quot;) of the Board of Directors (the &quot;Board&quot;) of Barrett Business
Services, Inc. (the &quot;Company&quot;) approved the Amended and Restated Annual Cash Incentive Plan (the &quot;Plan&quot;), which
amends and restates the existing plan adopted in 2015. The Plan governs cash incentive awards made each year to key executives
of the Company, including its executive officers, and, as amended, is effective for awards made in 2019 and thereafter. The amendments
to the Plan reflect changes to the Internal Revenue Code enacted by Congress in late 2017, as well as updating certain provisions.
Awards under the Plan are tied to the achievement of performance goals, which may be based on qualitative or quantitative measures,
or both, as determined by the Committee for each participant in the Plan. Cash payouts under the awards are made in accordance
with a pre-established formula determined by the Committee.</P>
