BYLAWS OF BARRETT BUSINESS SERVICES, INC.
As Amended Through August 9, 2005

ARTICLE I. STOCKHOLDERS

Section 1. Annual Meeting. The Annual Meeting of the stockholders
shall be held during the third week of May of each year on the date and time or
at such other date and time in May of each year as the board of directors may
establish, for the purpose of electing directors and for the transaction of such
other business as may come before the meeting. The board of directors shall
timely establish the annual meeting date and time in conjunction with the notice
of meeting requirements of Article I, Section 4, of these Bylaws.

Section 2. Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders,
for any purpose or purposes, may be called by the president or by the board of
directors, and shall be called by the secretary upon written request by
stockholders entitled to cast 25 percent of all votes entitled to be cast at the
meeting stating the purpose of the meeting and the matters proposed to be acted
upon at the meeting and upon payment by such stockholders to the corporation of
the costs of the notice of the meeting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a special
meeting need not be called by the secretary to consider any matter which is
substantially the same as a matter voted on at any special meeting of the
stockholders held during the preceding 12 months unless requested by
stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all votes entitled to be cast at the
meeting.

Section 3. Place of Meeting. The place of meeting for all annual and
special meetings of the stockholders shall be such place within the United
States as shall be determined by the board of directors. In the absence of any
such determination, all meetings of stockholders shall be held at the principal
office of the corporation in the state of Oregon.

Section 4. Notice of Meeting; Waiver. Written or printed notice
stating the place, day, and hour of the meeting and, in case of a special
meeting or if otherwise required by law, the purpose or purposes for which the
meeting is called, shall be given by the secretary not earlier than 90 nor less
than 10 days before the date of the meeting, either personally or by mail, to
each stockholder of record entitled to vote at or to receive notice of such
meeting. If given personally, such notice shall be effective when delivered to
the stockholder or when left at the stockholder's residence or usual place of
business. If given by mail, such notice shall be effective when deposited in the
United States mail, addressed to the stockholder at his or her address as shown
in the corporation's current record of stockholders, with postage thereon
prepaid. A stockholder entitled to notice of a meeting waives such notice if he
or she is present at the meeting in person or by proxy. A written waiver of
notice of a meeting signed by a stockholder entitled to such notice, whether
before or after the time stated therein, which is filed with the records of
stockholders meetings, shall be equivalent to the giving of such notice. A
meeting of stockholders convened on the date for which it was called may be
adjourned from time to time without further notice to a date not more than 120
days after the original record date for the meeting.

Section 5. Quorum; Manner of Acting. The presence in person or by
proxy of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to
be cast at the meeting shall

-1-


constitute a quorum. If a quorum is present, a majority of all the votes cast at
the meeting is sufficient to approve any matter which properly comes before the
meeting unless the vote of a greater proportion of all the votes cast or voting
by classes is required by the Maryland General Corporation Law or the charter.

Section 6. Proxies. At all meetings of stockholders, a stockholder
may vote by proxy executed in writing by the stockholder or by his or her duly
authorized attorney-in-fact. Such proxy shall be filed with the secretary of the
corporation before or at the time of the meeting. No proxy shall be valid after
11 months from the date of its execution unless otherwise expressly provided in
the proxy.

Section 7. Voting of Shares. Each outstanding share of the
corporation's common stock shall be entitled to one vote upon each matter
submitted to a vote at a meeting of the stockholders except that shares owned,
directly or indirectly, by another corporation in which the corporation owns,
directly or indirectly, shares entitled to cast a majority of all the votes
entitled to be cast by all shares of such other corporation shall not be voted
at any meeting or counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares
at any given time.

Section 8. Acceptance of Votes. If the name signed on a vote,
consent, waiver, or proxy appointment corresponds to the name of a stockholder,
the corporation shall be entitled to accept the vote, consent, waiver, or proxy
appointment and give it effect as the act of the stockholder.

If the name signed on a vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment
does not correspond to the name of its stockholder, the corporation shall
nevertheless be entitled to accept the vote, consent, waiver, or proxy
appointment and give it effect as the act of the stockholder if:

a. The stockholder is a corporation, and the name signed purports to
be that of the president, a vice-president, or a proxy appointed by either of
them or by another person appointed under a bylaw or resolution of the board of
directors of such stockholder, a certified copy of which is presented to the
corporation.

b. The stockholder is an entity, other than a corporation, and the
name signed purports to be that of an officer or agent of the entity.

-2-



The corporation shall be entitled to reject a vote, consent, waiver,
or proxy if the secretary or other officer or agent authorized to tabulate
votes, acting in good faith, has reasonable basis for doubt about the validity
of the signature on it or about the signatory's authority to sign for the
stockholder.

Section 9. Action Without Meeting. Any action required or permitted
by the Maryland General Corporation Law to be taken at a meeting of the
stockholders may be taken without a meeting if there are filed with the records
of stockholders meetings a consent in writing which sets forth the action so
