 Exhibit 4.1 

TRUEBLUE, INC. 

2005 LONG-TERM EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN 

(Effective May 18, 2005 and Amended and Restated effective May 12, 2010) 

1. Purposes of the Plan. The purposes of this Plan are to further the growth, development and financial success of the
Company by attracting and retaining the most talented Employees, Consultants and Directors available, and by aligning the long-term interests of Employees, Consultants and Directors with those of the shareholders by providing an opportunity to
acquire an ownership interest in the Company and by providing both performance rewards and long-term incentives for future contributions to the success of the Company. 

The Plan permits the grant of Incentive Stock Options, Nonqualified Stock Options, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, or Stock
Appreciation Rights, at the discretion of the Committee and as reflected in the terms of the Award Agreement. Each Award will be subject to conditions specified in the Plan and Award Agreement, such as continued employment or satisfaction of
performance criteria. 
 This Plan will serve as a framework for the Committee to establish sub-plans or procedures governing
the grants to Employees, Directors, Consultants and Employees working for the Company outside of the United States. The awards granted under the Former Plans shall continue to be administered under the Former Plans until such time as those options
are exercised, expire or become unexercisable for any reason. 
 This Plan is intended to comply with the requirements of
Section 409A of the Code and the regulations thereunder, with such compliance coming in large part by Awards not constituting deferred compensation that is subject to 409A (and thus such Awards being excepted from the requirements of 409A), and
the Plan will be interpreted and administered accordingly.

 3. Shares Subject to the Plan. 

(a) Reservation of Shares. The shares of Common Stock reserved under this Plan will include reserved shares of Common Stock that
are not subject to a grant or as to which the option award granted has been forfeited under the Former Plans, and an additional Four Million Six Hundred Fifty Thousand (4,650,000) Shares of Common Stock. Subject to the provisions of
Section 4, the maximum aggregate number of Shares which may be awarded and delivered under the Plan shall not exceed Five Million Five Hundred Thousand (5,500,000) Shares (adjusted, proportionately, in the event of any stock split or stock
dividend with respect to the Shares), and the maximum number which may be granted as Incentive Stock Options under the Plan shall not exceed Four Million (4,000,000) Shares. Provided that, as of May 12, 2010, an additional Five Hundred
Thousand (500,000) Shares are reserved under the Plan and the maximum aggregate number of Shares which may be awarded and delivered under the Plan shall not exceed Six Million (6,000,000) Shares (adjusted, proportionately, in the event of
any stock split or stock dividend with respect to the Shares). The number of Shares, underlying an Award not issued as a result of any of the following actions, shall again be available for issuance under the Plan: (i) a payout of a Non-Tandem

Options, or the termination of a related Option upon exercise of the corresponding Tandem SAR) of any Award. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, any Shares of Common Stock that are (A) tendered in payment of an Option exercise price;
(B) withheld by the Company to satisfy any tax withholding obligation; or (C) repurchased by the Company with Option exercise proceeds shall be considered issued pursuant to the Plan and shall not be added to the maximum number of Shares
that may be issued under the Plan. The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan. Shares available for issuance under the
Plan shall be increased by any shares of Common Stock subject to outstanding awards under the Former Plans as of the Effective Date that later cease to be subject to such awards for any reason other than such awards having been exercised, subject to
adjustment from time to time as provided in Section 5, which shares of Common Stock shall, as of the date such shares cease to be subject to such awards, cease to be available for grant and issuance under the Former Plans, but shall be
available for issuance under the Plan. The Shares may be authorized but unissued, or reacquired shares of Common Stock. 
 (b)
Substitutions and Assumptions. The Board or the Committee shall have the right to substitute or assume Awards in connection with mergers, reorganizations, separations, or other transactions to which Section 424(a) of the Code applies,
provided such substitutions and assumptions are permitted by Section 424 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder and will not cause such Awards to be treated as deferred compensation that is subject to Code Section 409A. The
number of Shares reserved pursuant to Section 3(a) may be increased by a corresponding number of Awards assumed and, in the case of substitution, by the net increase in the number of Shares subject to Awards before and after the substitution.

 (c) Securities Law Compliance. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Award unless the exercise of
such Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares pursuant thereto shall comply with all relevant provisions of law, including, without limitation, the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the Exchange Act, the rules and regulations promulgated
under either such Act, and the requirements of any stock exchange or quotation system upon which the Shares may then be listed or quoted, and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

 4. Adjustments to Shares Subject to the Plan. If any change is made to the
Shares by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares or other change affecting the outstanding Shares as a class without the Company’s receipt of consideration, appropriate adjustments
shall be made to (i) the maximum number and/or class of securities issuable under the Plan, (ii) the number and/ or class of securities and/or the price per Share covered by outstanding Awards under the Plan, and (iii) the Maximum
Annual Participant Award, provided such adjustments do not cause an Award to be treated as deferred compensation that is subject to Code Section 409A. The Committee may also make adjustments described in the previous sentence in the event of
any distribution of assets to shareholders other than a normal cash dividend. 
 In determining adjustments to be made under
this Section 4, the Committee may take into account such factors as it deems appropriate, including the restrictions of applicable law and the potential tax consequences of an adjustment, and in light of such factors may make adjustments that
are not uniform or proportionate among outstanding Awards. Adjustments, if any, and any determinations or interpretations, including any determination of whether a distribution is other than a normal cash dividend, made by the Committee shall be
final, binding and conclusive. The Committee in its discretion may provide holders of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units a dividend equivalent right with respect to the Shares the Participant shall be entitled to receive or purchase. For
purposes of this Section 4, conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” 

Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of any class, or securities convertible into shares of any
class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of Shares subject to an Award. 

5. Plan Administration. 

(a) Authority. The Plan shall be administered by the Committee. The Committee shall have full and exclusive power to administer
the Plan on behalf of the Board, subject to such terms and conditions as the Committee may prescribe. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Committee’s power to administer the Plan, and actions the Committee takes under the Plan,
shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in the Committee’s charter, as such charter may be amended from time to time. 

(b) Powers of the Committee. Subject to the other provisions of this Plan, the Committee shall have the authority, in its
discretion: 
  

	 	(i)	to grant Incentive Stock Options, Nonqualified Stock Options, Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units, and SARs to Participants and to determine the terms and
conditions of such Awards, including the determination of the Fair Market Value of the Shares and the exercise price (subject to Section 7(b)), and to modify or amend each Award, with the consent of the Participant when required;

	 	(iv)	to prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, including the form of Award Agreement, and manner of acceptance of an Award, such as
correcting a defect or supplying any omission, or reconciling any inconsistency so that the Plan or any Award Agreement complies with applicable law, regulations and listing requirements and to avoid unanticipated consequences deemed by the
Committee to be inconsistent with the purposes of the Plan or any Award Agreement; 

  

 - 6 - 

	 	(v)	to establish performance criteria for Awards made pursuant to the Plan in accordance with a methodology established by the Committee, and to determine whether
performance goals have been attained; 

  

	 	(vi)	to accelerate or defer (with the consent of the Participant) the exercise or vesting date of any Award that is an Option or SAR, provided any deferred date is not later

	 	(vii)	to accelerate the vesting date of any Award that is Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units; 

 

	 	(viii)	to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any instrument required to effectuate the grant of an Award previously granted by the Committee;

  

	 	(ix)	to establish subplans, procedures or guidelines for the grant of Awards to Employees, Directors and Consultants; 

 

	 	(x)	to authorize the cancellation, forfeiture or suspension of an Award; and 

  

	 	(xi)	to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan; 

Provided that, no consent of a Participant is necessary under clauses (i) or (vi) if a modification, amendment,
acceleration, or deferral, in the reasonable judgment of the Committee confers a benefit on the Participant or is made pursuant to an adjustment in accordance with Section 4. 

(c) Effect of Committee’s Decision. All decisions, determinations, and interpretations of the Committee shall be final,
conclusive and binding on all Participants, the Company, any shareholder and all other persons. 
 (d) Delegation and
Administration. Consistent with the Committee’s charter, as such charter may be amended from time to time, the Committee may delegate to one or more subcommittees consisting of members of the Committee or other Directors who are Independent
Directors (any such committee a “Subcommittee”) the administration of the Plan, and such administrator(s) may have the authority to directly, or under their supervision, execute and distribute agreements or other documents evidencing or
relating to Awards granted by the Committee under this Plan, to maintain records relating to the grant, vesting, exercise, forfeiture or expiration of Awards, to process or oversee the issuance of Shares upon the exercise, vesting and/or settlement
of an Award, to interpret the terms of Awards and to take such other actions as the Committee may specify. Any action by any such Subcommittee within the scope of such delegation shall be deemed for all purposes to have been taken by the Committee.

 6. General Eligibility. 

(a) Awards. Awards may be granted to Participants who are Employees, Directors or Consultants, provided however that Incentive
Stock Options may only be granted to Employees. 
 (b) Maximum Annual Participant Award. The aggregate number of Shares
with respect to which an Award or Awards may be granted to any one Participant in any one taxable year of the Company (the “Maximum Annual Participant Award”) shall not exceed 1 million shares of Common Stock (adjusted,
proportionately, in the event of any stock split or stock dividend with respect to the Shares). If an Option is in tandem with a SAR, such that the exercise of the Option or SAR with respect to a Share cancels the tandem SAR or Option right,
respectively, with respect to each Share, the tandem Option and SAR rights with respect to each Share shall be counted as covering but one Share for purposes of the Maximum Annual Participant Award. 

 

 - 7 - 

 (c) No Employment/Service Rights. Nothing in the Plan shall confer upon any
Participant the right to an Award or to continue in service as an Employee or Consultant for any period of specific duration, or interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company (or any Subsidiary employing or retaining such
person), or of any Participant, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to terminate such person’s services at any time for any reason, with or without cause (as such term is defined in a Company subplan or an Award Agreement, as
applicable). 
 7. Grant, Terms and Conditions of Options. 

(a) Designation. Each Option shall be designated in an Award Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonqualified Stock
Option. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Option is not designated as an Incentive Stock Option, such Option will be deemed to be a Nonqualified Stock Option. To the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time of
grant) of the Shares with respect to which Options designated as Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any Employee during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, such excess Options shall be treated as Nonqualified Stock
Options. For this purpose, Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted. 
 (b) Option
Price. The per Share exercise price under an Incentive Stock Option (i) granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder, shall be no less than 110% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant, or (ii) granted to any other Participant,
shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the date of grant. The per Share exercise price under a Nonqualified Stock Option or SAR shall be no less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the
date of grant. In no event shall the Board or the Committee be permitted to Reprice an Option after the date of grant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Option may be granted with an exercise price lower than that set forth above if such Option is
granted pursuant to an assumption or substitution for another option in a manner satisfying the provisions of Section 424(a) of the Code. 

(c) Term of Options. The term of each Incentive Stock Option shall be no more than ten (10) years from the date of grant.
However, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a Ten Percent Shareholder, the term of the Option shall be no more than five (5) years from the date of grant. The term of all Nonqualified Options shall be seven (7) years
unless otherwise provided by the Committee in its discretion. 
 (d) Vesting. To the extent Options vest and become
exercisable in increments, unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement or any severance agreement (i) such Options shall cease to vest upon the earlier of a Participant’s Disability or termination of such Participant’s
Continuous Status as a Participant (other than upon a Participant’s death), and (ii) such Options shall immediately vest in full upon a Participant’s death. 

(e) Substitution of SARs for Options. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company is required to or elects to expense the cost
of Options pursuant to FAS 123 (or a successor or other standard), the Committee shall have the sole discretion to substitute without receiving Participants’ permission, SARs paid only in stock for outstanding Options; provided, the terms of
the substituted stock SARs are the same as the terms of the Options, the number of shares underlying the number of stock SARs equals the number of shares underlying the Options and the difference between the Fair Market Value of the underlying
Shares and the grant price of the SARs is equivalent to the difference between the Fair Market Value of the underlying Shares and the exercise price of the Options. 

 

 - 8 - 

 (f) Exercise. Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable at such times and
under such conditions as determined by the Committee at the time of grant, and as shall be permissible under the terms of the Plan. No fractional Shares may be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award. 

8. Grant, Terms and Conditions of Stock Awards. 

(a) Designation. Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units may be granted under the Plan. Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock
Units may include a dividend equivalent right, as permitted by Section 4. After the Committee determines that it will offer Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, it will advise the Participant in writing or electronically, by means of an
Award Agreement, of the terms, conditions and restrictions, including vesting, if any, related to the offer, including the number of Shares that the Participant shall be entitled to receive or purchase, the price to be paid, if any, and, if
applicable, the time within which the Participant must accept the offer. The offer shall be accepted by execution of an Award Agreement or as otherwise directed by the Committee. Restricted Stock Units may be paid as permitted by Section 10(b).
The term of each award of Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units shall be at the discretion of the Committee. 
 (b)
Restrictions. Subject to Section 8(c), the Committee may impose such conditions or restrictions on the Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to the Plan as it may determine advisable, including the achievement of
specific performance goals, time based restrictions on vesting, or others. If the Committee established performance goals, the Committee shall determine whether a Participant has satisfied the performance goals. 

(c) Performance Criteria. Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units granted pursuant to the Plan that are intended to qualify as
“performance based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code shall be subject to the attainment of performance goals relating to the Performance Criteria selected by the Committee and specified at the time such Restricted Stock
and Restricted Stock Units are granted. For purposes of this Plan, “Performance Criteria” means one or more of the following (as selected by the Committee): (i) cash flow; (ii) earnings per share; (iii) earnings before
interest, taxes, and amortization; (iv) return on equity; (v) total shareholder return; (vi) share price performance; (vii) return on capital; (viii) return on assets or net assets; (ix) revenue; (x) revenue
growth; (xi) earnings growth; (xii) operating income; (xiii) operating profit; (xiv) profit margin; (xv) return on operating revenue; (xvi) return on invested capital; (xvii) market price; (xviii) brand
recognition; (xix) customer satisfaction; (xx) operating efficiency; or (xxi) productivity. Any of these Performance Criteria may be used to measure the performance of the Company as a whole or any business unit or division of the
Company. 
 (d) Vesting. Unless the Committee determines otherwise, the Award Agreement shall provide for the forfeiture
of the non-vested Shares underlying Restricted Stock or the termination of Restricted Stock Units upon cessation of a Participant’s Continuous Status as a Participant, and the Shares underlying Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall
vest in full immediately upon death. To the extent that the Participant purchased the Shares granted under any such Restricted Stock award and any such Shares remain non-vested at the time of cessation of a Participant’s Continuous Status as a
Participant, the cessation of Participant’s Continuous Status as a Participant shall cause an immediate sale of such non-vested Shares to the Company at the original price per Share paid by the Participant. Non-vested Shares underlying
Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units shall vest in full immediately upon death.

 9. Grant, Terms and Conditions of SARs. 

(a) Grants. The Committee shall have the full power and authority, exercisable in its sole discretion, to grant SARs to selected
Participants. The Committee is authorized to grant both tandem stock appreciation rights consisting of SARs with underlying Options (“Tandem SARs”) and stand-alone stock appreciation rights consisting of SARs not tied to underlying Options
(“Stand-Alone SARs”). The term of a SAR shall be at the discretion of the Committee. In no event shall the Board or the Committee be permitted to Reprice a SAR after the date of grant without shareholder approval. 

(b) Tandem SARs. 

(i) Participants may be granted a Tandem SAR, exercisable upon such terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish, to elect
between the exercise of the underlying Option for Shares or the surrender of the Option in exchange for a distribution from the Company in an amount equal to the excess of (A) the Fair Market Value (on the Option surrender date) of the number
of Shares in which the Participant is at the time vested under the surrendered Option (or surrendered portion thereof) over (B) the aggregate exercise price payable for such vested Shares. 

(ii) No such Option surrender shall be effective unless it is approved by the Committee, either at the time of the actual Option
surrender or at any earlier time. If the surrender is so approved, then the distributions to which the Participant shall become entitled under this Section 9(b) may be made in Shares valued at Fair Market Value (on the Option surrender date),
in cash, or partly in Shares and partly in cash, as the Committee shall deem appropriate. 
 (iii) If the surrender of an
Option is not approved by the Committee, then the Participant shall retain whatever rights he or she had under the surrendered Option (or surrendered portion thereof) on the Option surrender date and may exercise such rights at any time prior to the
later of (A) five (5) business days after the receipt of the rejection notice or (B) the last day on which the Option is otherwise exercisable in accordance with the terms of the instrument evidencing such Option, but in no event may
such rights be exercised more than ten (10) years after the date of the Option grant. 
 (c) Stand-Alone SARs.

 (i) A Participant may be granted a Stand-Alone SAR not tied to any underlying Option under Section 7 of the Plan. The
Stand-Alone SAR shall cover a specified number of Shares and shall be exercisable upon such terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish. Upon exercise of the Stand-Alone SAR, the holder shall be entitled to receive a distribution from the
Company in an amount equal to the excess of (A) the aggregate Fair Market Value (on the exercise date) of the Shares underlying the exercised right over (B) the aggregate base price in effect for those Shares. 

(ii) The number of Shares underlying each Stand-Alone SAR and the base price in effect for those Shares shall be determined by the
Committee at the time the Stand-Alone SAR is granted. In no event, however, may the base price per Share be less than the Fair Market Value per underlying Share on the grant date. 

(iii) The distribution with respect to an exercised Stand-Alone SAR may be made in Shares valued at Fair Market Value on the exercise
date, in cash, or partly in Shares and partly in cash, as the Committee shall deem appropriate.

Award is exercised has been received by the Company or the brokerage firm or firms, as applicable. The notification to the brokerage firm shall be made in accordance with procedures of such brokerage firm approved by the Company. Full payment may,
as authorized by the Committee, consist of any consideration and method of payment allowable under the terms of this Plan. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such share certificate promptly after the exercise of the Award or, in the
case of Restricted Stock Units, after the Participant has vested in such Restricted Stock Units and otherwise become entitled to Shares in connection with such Restricted Stock Units. In the event that the exercise of an Award is treated in part as
the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option and in part as the exercise of a Nonqualified Stock Option pursuant to Section 7(a), the Company shall issue a share certificate evidencing the Shares treated as acquired upon the exercise of an
Incentive Stock Option and a separate share certificate evidencing the Shares treated as acquired upon the exercise of a Nonqualified Stock Option, and shall identify each such certificate accordingly in its share transfer records. No adjustment
will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the share certificate is issued, except as provided in Section 4 of the Plan. In no event shall cash be paid or Shares issued to a Participant with
respect to an Award of the Participant later than March 15 of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant became vested in and otherwise entitled to such cash or Shares. 

(b) Method of Payment. The consideration to be paid for any Shares to be issued upon exercise or other required settlement of an
Award, including a method of payment, shall be determined by the Committee at the time of settlement, and which forms may include: (i) check; (ii) wire transfer; (iii) tender of shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant in
accordance with rules established by the Committee from time to time; and (iv) a request that the Company or a designated brokerage firm conduct a cashless exercise of the Option. Shares used to pay the Option Price shall be valued at their
Fair Market Value on the exercise date. Payment of the aggregate Option Price by means of tendering previously-owned shares of Common Stock shall not be permitted when the same may, in the reasonable opinion of the Company, cause the Company to
record a loss or expense as a result thereof. 
 (c) Withholding Obligations. To the extent required by applicable
federal, state, local or foreign law, the Committee may and/or a Participant shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the satisfaction of any withholding tax obligations that arise with respect to any Incentive Stock Option,
Nonqualified Stock Option, SAR, Restricted Stock or Restricted Stock Units, or any sale of Shares. The Company shall not be required to issue Shares or to recognize the disposition of such Shares until such obligations are satisfied. These
obligations may be satisfied by having the Company withhold a portion of the Shares that otherwise would be issued to a Participant under such Award (provided, however, that no Shares are withheld with a value exceeding the minimum amount of tax
required to be withheld by law) or by tendering Shares previously acquired by the Participant in accordance with rules established by the Committee from time to time. 

 

 - 11 - 

 (d) Shareholder Rights. Except as otherwise provided in this Plan, until the issuance
(as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company) of the share certificate evidencing such Shares, no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareholder
shall exist with respect to the Shares subject to the Award, notwithstanding the exercise of the Award. 
 (e)
Non-Transferability of Awards. An Award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in exchange for consideration, and may not be transferred other than by will or by the laws of descent or distribution and
may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Participant, only by the Participant; unless the Committee permits further transferability, on a general or specific basis, in which case the Committee may impose conditions and limitations on any
permitted transferability. 
 11. Expiration of Awards. 

(a) Expiration, Termination or Forfeiture of Awards. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Award Agreement or any severance
agreement, vested Awards granted under this Plan shall expire, terminate, or otherwise be forfeited as follows: 
 (i) ninety
(90) days after the date of termination of a Participant’s Continuous Status as a Participant other than in circumstances covered by (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) below; 

(ii) immediately upon termination of a Participant’s Continuous Status as a Participant for cause (as defined in a Company subplan
or Award Agreement, as applicable); 
 (iii) twelve (12) months after the date on which a Participant ceased performing
services as a result of his or her Disability; and 
 (iv) twelve (12) months after the date of the death of a Participant
who was a Participant whose Continuous Status as a Participant terminated as a result of his or her death. 
 (b) Extension
of Term. Notwithstanding subsection (a) above, the Committee shall have the authority to extend the expiration date of any outstanding Options or SARs other than an Incentive Stock Option in circumstances in which it deems such action to be
appropriate (provided that no such extension shall extend the term of an Option or SAR beyond the date on which the Award would have expired or been forfeited if there had been no termination of the Employee’s Continuous Status as a
Participant). 
 12. Term, Amendment and Termination of the Plan. 

(a) Term of Plan. The Plan shall become effective as of the Effective Date. It shall continue in effect until the tenth
anniversary of the Effective Date or until terminated under this Section 12 of the Plan or extended by an amendment approved by the shareholders of the Company pursuant to Section 12(a). 

(b) Amendment and Termination. The Board or the Committee may amend or terminate the Plan from time to time in such respects as
the Board may deem advisable (including, but not limited to amendments which the Board deems appropriate to enhance the Company’s ability to claim deductions related to stock option exercises); provided that to the extent required by the Code
or the rules of the NYSE or the SEC, shareholder approval shall be required for any amendment of the Plan. Subject to the foregoing, it is specifically 
  

 - 12 - 

 
intended that the Board or Committee may amend the Plan without shareholder approval to comply with legal, regulatory and listing requirements and to avoid unanticipated consequences deemed by
the Committee to be inconsistent with the purpose of the Plan or any Award Agreement. 
 (c) Participants in Foreign
Countries. The Committee shall have the authority to adopt such modifications, procedures, and subplans as may be necessary or desirable to comply with provisions of the laws of foreign countries in which the Company or its Subsidiaries may
operate to assure the viability of the benefits from Awards granted to Participants performing services in such countries and to meet the objectives of the Plan. 

(d) Effect of Amendment or Termination. Any such amendment or termination of the Plan shall not affect Awards already granted and
such Awards shall remain in full force and effect as if this Plan had not been amended or terminated, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Participant and the Committee, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Participant and
the Company. 
 13. Shareholder Approval. The Plan, and any material amendment to the Plan, is subject to approval
by the shareholders of the Company in accordance with applicable NYSE rules.

 Exhibit 4.2 

TRUEBLUE, INC. 

2010 EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN 

Adopted by the Shareholders May 12, 2010 

1. Purpose of the Plan. The TrueBlue, Inc. 2010 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”) is intended to provide a
method whereby eligible employees of TrueBlue, Inc. (the “Company”) and its Subsidiaries will have an opportunity to purchase shares of the common stock of the Company. The Company believes that employee participation in the ownership of
the Company is of benefit to both the employees and the Company. The Company intends to have the Plan qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. The provisions of the Plan shall,
accordingly, be construed so as to extend and limit participation in a manner that is consistent with the requirements of that Section of the Code. 

2. Definitions. 
  

	 	(a)	“Account” means the funds that are accumulated with respect to each individual Participant as a result of payroll deductions for the purpose of
purchasing Shares under the Plan. The funds that are allocated to a Participant’s Account shall at all times remain the property of that Participant, but such funds may be commingled with the general funds of the Company.

  

	 	(b)	“Base Pay” means an employee’s regular straight time salary or earnings plus any overtime, bonus, incentive compensation, or commission.

  

	 	(c)	“Board” means the Board of Directors of the Company.

under this Plan pursuant to Section 21.1. To the extent the Board reserves authority to itself with respect to certain powers under this Plan, or if no Committee has been established, references to Committee shall be construed to mean the
Board. 

  

	 	(h)	“Ending Date” means March 31, June 30, September 30, or December 31, as the case may be, on which the particular Offering
Period concludes. 

  

	 	(i)	“ESPP Broker” means a qualified stock brokerage or other financial services firm that has been designated by the Company to establish Accounts for
Shares purchased under the Plan by Participants. 

  

	 	(j)	“Fair Market Value” of a Share as of a particular date means (1) if the Shares are listed on a national securities exchange, the closing or last
price of a Share on the composite tape or other comparable reporting system for the applicable date, or if the applicable date is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable date, or (2) if the Shares are not then
listed on a national securities exchange, or the value of such shares is not otherwise determinable, such value as determined by the Committee in good faith in its sole discretion (but in any event not less than fair market value within the meaning
of Section 409A of the Code). 

  

	 	(k)	“Holding Period” means the holding period that is set forth in Section 423(a) of the Code, which, as of the date that the Board adopted this Plan,

	 	(l)	“Offering Period” means any one of the consecutive three-month periods for the purchase and sale of Shares under the Plan. Each one of the Offering
Periods may be referred to as an “Offering.” 

  

 - 1 - 

	 	(m)	“Participant” means an employee who, pursuant to Section 3, is eligible to participate in the Plan and has complied with the requirements of
Section 7. 

  

	 	(n)	“Shares” means shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value per share, which will be sold to Participants under the Plan.

  

	 	(o)	“Subsidiaries” means any present or future domestic or foreign corporation that: (1) would be a “subsidiary corporation” of the Company
as that term is defined in Section 424 of the Code, and (2) whose employees have been designated by the Committee to be eligible, subject to Section 3, to be Participants under the Plan. The Subsidiaries currently designated by the
Committee as eligible to participate are set forth on Attachment A hereto. 

  

	 	(p)	“Withdrawal Notice” means a notice in a form designated by the Company that a Participant who wishes to withdraw from the Plan must submit to the
Company in the manner set forth in Section 22. 

 3. Employees Eligible to Participate. 

3.1 Domestic Employees. Any regular employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is eligible to participate in the Plan
except any employee who: (a) is not in the employ of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries on a Commencement Date, (b) has not been so employed for at least six consecutive months prior to the Commencement Date, (c) has not been paid
for an average of at least twenty hours per week during such employment, and (d) is typically employed for less than five (5) months in any calendar year. For purposes of the Plan, the employment relationship shall be treated as continuing
intact while the individual is on sick leave or other leave of absence approved by the Company or a Subsidiary and meeting the requirements of Treasury Regulation Section 1.421-7(h)(2). 

3.2 Foreign Employees. In order to facilitate participation in the Plan, the Committee may provide for such special terms
applicable to Participants who are citizens or residents of a foreign jurisdiction, or who are employed by a Designated Subsidiary outside of the United States, as the Committee may consider necessary or appropriate to accommodate differences in
local law, tax policy or custom. Such special terms may not be more favorable than the terms of rights granted under the Plan to Eligible Employees 

who are residents of the United States. Moreover, the Committee may approve such supplements to, or amendments, restatements or alternative versions of,
this Plan as it may consider necessary or appropriate for such purposes without thereby affecting the terms of this Plan as in effect for any other purpose. No such special terms, supplements, amendments or restatements shall include any provisions
that are inconsistent with the terms of this Plan as then in effect unless this Plan could have been amended to eliminate such inconsistency without further approval by the shareholders of the Company. 

4. Offering Periods. The Plan shall consist of Offering Periods commencing on July 1, 2010, and on each subsequent
October 1, January 1, April 1, and July 1. 
 5. Price. The purchase price per share shall
be the lesser of (1) 85% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the Commencement Date of an Offering Period; or (2) 85% of the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the Ending Date of an Offering Period. 

6. Number of Shares Offered Under the Plan. The maximum number of Shares that will be offered under the Plan is 1,000,000. If, on
any date, the total number of Shares for which purchase rights are to be granted pursuant to Section 9 exceeds the number of Shares then available under this Section 6 after deduction of all Shares (a) that have been purchased under
the Plan and (b) for which rights to purchase are then outstanding, the Company shall make a pro-rata allocation of the Shares that remain available in as nearly a uniform manner as shall be practicable and as it shall determine, in its sole
judgment, to be equitable. In such event, the number of Shares each Participant may purchase shall be reduced and the Company shall give to each Participant a written notice of such reduction. 

 

 - 2 - 

 7. Participation. An eligible employee may become a Participant by completing the
enrollment process as designated by the Company prior to the Commencement Date of the Offering to which it relates. Participation in one Offering under the Plan shall neither limit, nor require, participation in any other Offering, but a Participant
shall remain enrolled in the Plan until the Participant withdraws from the Plan pursuant to Section 13 hereof, or his or her employment is terminated with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries. 

8. Payroll Deductions. 

8.1 At the time the enrollment process is completed and for so long as a Participant participates in the Plan, each Participant shall
authorize the Company to make payroll deductions of a whole percentage (not partial or fractional) of Base Pay; provided, however, that no payroll deduction shall be less than two percent or exceed 10 percent of Base Pay. The amount of the minimum
percentage deduction may be adjusted by the Committee from time to time; provided, however, that a Participant’s existing rights under any Offering that has already commenced may not be adversely affected thereby. 

8.2 Each Participant’s payroll deductions shall be credited to that Participant’s Account. A Participant may not make a
separate cash payment into such Account nor may payment for Shares be made from other than the Participant’s Account. 

8.3 A Participant’s payroll deductions shall begin on or following the Commencement Date, and shall continue until the termination
of the Plan unless the Participant elects to withdraw pursuant to Section 13 or changes his or her contribution percentage prior to the Commencement Date for a subsequent Offering. 

8.4 A Participant may discontinue participation in the Plan as provided in Section 13, but no other change may be made during an
Offering and, specifically, a Participant may not alter the amount or rate of payroll deductions during an Offering. 
 9.
Granting of Right to Purchase. On the Commencement Date, the Plan shall be deemed to have granted automatically to each Participant a right to purchase as many Shares (including fractional Shares) as may be purchased with such
Participant’s Account on the corresponding Ending Date. 
 10. Purchase of Shares. On each Ending Date, each
Participant’s accumulated payroll deductions and any funds remaining from any prior Offering Period will be applied to the purchase of whole or fractional Shares, up to the maximum number of Shares permitted pursuant to the terms of the Plan
and the applicable Offering Document, at the Purchase Price. Any fractional Shares or cash in lieu of fractional Shares remaining after the purchase of full Shares upon exercise of the purchase right will be credited to such Participant’s
account and carried forward and applied toward the purchase of full Shares for the next following Offering Period, subject to the terms of the Plan. 

11. Participant’s Rights as a Shareholder. No Participant shall have any rights of a shareholder with respect to any Shares
until the Shares have been purchased in accordance with Section 10 and issued by the Company. 
 12. Evidence of
Ownership of Shares. 
 12.1 Promptly following the Ending Date of each Offering, the Shares that are purchased by each
Participant shall be deposited into an account that is established in the Participant’s name with the ESPP Broker. 
 12.2
A Participant may direct, by written notice to the ESPP Broker prior to the Ending Date of the pertinent Offering, that the ESPP Broker account be established in the names of the Participant and one such other person as may be designated by the
Participant as joint tenants with right of survivorship, tenants in common, or community property, to the extent and in the manner permitted by applicable law. 
  

 - 3 - 

 12.3 A Participant shall be free to undertake a disposition, as that term is defined in
Section 424(c) of the Code (which generally includes any sale, exchange, gift, or transfer of legal title), of Shares in the Participant’s ESPP Broker account at any time, whether by sale, exchange, gift, or other transfer of title.
Subject to Section 12.4 below, in the absence of such a disposition of the Shares, however, the Shares must remain in the Participant’s account at the ESPP Broker until the Holding Period has been satisfied. With respect to Shares for
which the Holding Period has been satisfied, a Participant may move such Shares to an account at another brokerage firm of the Participant’s choosing or request that a certificate that represents the Shares be issued and delivered to the
Participant. 
 12.4 A Participant who is not subject to United States taxation may, at any time and without regard to the
Holding Period, move his or her Shares to an account at another brokerage firm of the Participant’s choosing or request that a certificate that represents the Shares be issued and delivered to the Participant. 

13. Withdrawal and Suspension. 

13.1 A Participant may withdraw from an Offering by delivering a withdrawal notice to the Company at any time before the first day of the
last month of the Offering Period or other date designated by the Company. Upon withdrawal, the amount in the Participant’s account will be refunded as soon as practicable. A Participant’s withdrawal will become effective on the
Commencement Date of the next Offering Period following withdrawal. After such withdrawal, the Company shall refund the Participant’s entire Account as soon as practicable. 

13.2 A Participant who has previously withdrawn from the Plan may re-enter by complying with the requirements of Section 7. Upon
compliance with such requirements, an employee’s re-entry into the Plan will become effective on the Commencement Date of the next Offering following the date the Participant complies with Section 7 with respect to the re-entry.

 13.3 A Participant may suspend participation in an Offering at any time before the first day of the last month of the
Offering Period by reducing his or her payroll deduction percentage election to 0% for the remainder of the Offering Period. In such a case, the amount accumulated in the Participant’s account prior to the suspension is not refunded, but is
used to purchase shares as described above. A Participant who has withdrawn from or suspended participation in an Offering may not again participate in the Purchase Plan until the Participant complies with the terms of Section 7, above.

 14. Carryover of Account. At the conclusion of each Offering, the Company shall automatically re-enroll each
Participant in the next Offering, and the balance of each Participant’s Account shall be used to purchase Shares in the subsequent Offering, unless the Participant has advised the Company otherwise in writing, or as set forth in Section 20
or 23, in which case the Company shall refund to the Participant the funds that remain in the Participant’s Account as soon as practicable thereafter. 

15. Interest. No interest shall be paid or allowed on a Participant’s Account. 

16. Rights Not Transferable. No Participant shall be permitted to sell, assign, transfer, pledge, or otherwise dispose of or
encumber such Participant’s Account or any rights to purchase or to receive Shares under the Plan other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and such rights and interests shall not be liable for, or subject to, a
Participant’s debts, contracts, or liabilities. If a Participant purports to make a transfer, or a third party makes a claim in respect of a Participant’s rights or interests, whether by garnishment, levy, attachment, or otherwise, such
purported transfer or claim shall be treated as a withdrawal election under Section 13. 
 17. Termination of
Employment. As soon as practicable upon termination of a Participant’s employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever, including but not limited to death or retirement, the Participant’s Account shall be refunded to the
Participant or the Participant’s estate, as applicable. 
  

 - 4 - 

 18. Amendment or Discontinuance of the Plan. 

18.1 The Committee shall have the right to amend or modify the Plan at any time without notice, except to the extent the Board has
reserved such authority to itself with respect to any aspect of the Plan, and the Board shall have the right to amend, modify or terminate the Plan at any time without notice, provided that (i) subject to Sections 19 and 23.1(b), no
Participant’s existing rights under any Offering that is in progress may be adversely affected thereby, and (ii) subject to Section 19, in the event that the Board or the Committee desires to retain the favorable tax treatment under
Sections 421 and 423 of the Code, no such amendment of the Plan shall increase the number of Shares that were reserved for issuance hereunder unless the Company’s shareholders approve such an increase. 

18.2 Without shareholder consent and without regard to whether any Participant rights may be considered to have been adversely affected,
to the extent permitted by Section 423 of the Code, the Committee shall be entitled to change the Offering Periods, establish subplans with differing offering periods, change or alter the participating Subsidiaries, limit the frequency and/or
number of changes in the amount withheld during an Offering Period, establish the exchange ratio applicable to amounts withheld in a currency other than U.S. dollars, permit payroll withholding in excess of the amount designated by a Participant in
order to adjust for delays or mistakes in the Company’s processing of properly completed withholding elections, establish reasonable waiting and adjustment periods and/or accounting and crediting procedures to ensure that amounts applied toward
the purchase of Shares for each Participant properly correspond with amounts withheld from the Participant’s Base Pay, and establish such other limitations or procedures as the Committee determines in its sole discretion to be advisable.

 19. Changes in Capitalization. In the event of reorganization, recapitalization, stock split, stock dividend,
combination of Shares, merger, consolidation, offerings of rights, or any other change in the capital structure of the Company, the Committee shall make whatever adjustments are appropriate in the number, kind, and the price of the Shares that are
available for purchase under the Plan, and in the number of Shares that a Participant is entitled to purchase. 
 20. Share
Ownership. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary: 
 20.1 No Participant shall be permitted to subscribe for any
Shares under the Plan if such Participant, immediately after such subscription, owns Shares that account for (including all Shares that may be purchased under outstanding subscriptions under the Plan) five percent or more of the total combined
voting power or value of all classes of Shares of the Company or its Subsidiaries. For the foregoing purposes the rules of Section 424(d) of the Code shall apply in determining share ownership; 

20.2 No Participant shall be allowed to subscribe for any Shares under the Plan that permit such Participant’s rights to purchase
Shares under all “employee stock purchase plans” of the Company and its Subsidiaries to accrue at a rate that exceeds $25,000 of the Fair Market Value of such Shares for each calendar year in which such right to subscribe is outstanding at
any time. For purposes of this Section 20, the Fair Market Value of Shares shall be determined in each case as of the Commencement Date of the Offering in which such Shares are purchased. The Company shall refund as soon as practicable any
contributions by a Participant that exceed the limit set forth in the preceding sentence; 
 20.3 No Participant shall be
allowed to subscribe for any Shares under the Plan that permit such Participant’s rights to purchase Shares under all “employee stock purchase plans” of the Company and its Subsidiaries to accrue at a rate that exceeds 2,500 shares in
any one Offering Period. 
  

 - 5 - 

 21. Administration. 

21.1 The Plan shall be administered by the Board. The Board may delegate any or all of its authority and obligations under this Plan to
such committee or committees (including without limitation, a committee of the Board) or officer(s) of the Company as it may designate. Notwithstanding any such delegation of authority, the Board may itself take any action under the Plan in its
discretion at any time, and any reference in this Plan document to the rights and obligations of the Committee shall be construed to apply equally to the Board. Any references to the Board mean only the Board. 

21.2 The Committee shall be vested with full authority and discretion to construe the terms of the Plan and make factual determinations
under the Plan, and to make, administer, and interpret such rules and regulations as it deems necessary to administer the Plan, and any determination, decision, or action of the Committee in connection with the construction, interpretation,
administration, or application of the Plan shall be final, conclusive, and binding upon all Participants and any and all persons claiming under or through any Participant. The Committee may retain outside entities and professionals to assist in the
administration of the Plan including, without limitation, an ESPP Broker. 
 22. Notices. All notices or other
communications by a Participant to the Company under or in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have been duly given when received in the form specified by the Company at the location, or by the person, that is designated by the Company from
time to time for the receipt thereof, and, in the absence of such a designation, the Company’s Human Resources Department, Attention: ESPP Administration shall be authorized to receive such notices. 

23. Termination of the Plan. 

23.1 This Plan shall terminate at the earliest of the following: 

(a) The date of the filing of a Statement of Intent to Dissolve by the Company or the effective date of a merger or consolidation wherein
the Company is not to be the surviving corporation, which merger or consolidation is not between or among corporations related to the Company. Prior to the occurrence of either of such events, on such date as the Company may determine, the Company
may permit a Participant to carry out the right to purchase, and to purchase at the purchase price set forth in Section 5, the number of Shares (including fractional Shares) that may be purchased with that Participant’s Account. In such an
event, the Company shall refund to the Participant the funds that remain in the Participant’s Account after such purchase; 

(b) The date the Board acts to terminate the Plan in accordance with Section 18 above; or 

(c) The date when all of the Shares that were reserved for issuance hereunder have been purchased. 23.2 Upon termination of the Plan, the
Company shall refund to each Participant the balance of each Participant’s Account. 
 24. Limitations on Sale of Shares
Purchased Under the Plan. The Plan is intended to provide Shares for investment and not for resale. The Company does not, however, intend to restrict or influence the conduct of any employee’s affairs. An employee, therefore, may sell
Shares that are purchased under the Plan at any time, subject to compliance with any applicable federal or state securities laws. THE EMPLOYEE ASSUMES THE RISK OF ANY MARKET FLUCTUATIONS IN THE PRICE OF THE SHARES. 

25. Governmental Regulation. The Company’s obligation to sell and deliver Shares under this Plan is subject to any
governmental approval that is required in connection with the authorization, issuance, or sale of such Shares. 
  

 - 6 - 

 26. No Employment Rights. The Plan does not, directly or indirectly, create any right
for the benefit of any employee or class of employees to purchase any Shares under the Plan, or create in any employee or class of employees any right with respect to continuation of employment by the Company, and it shall not be deemed to interfere
in any way with the Company’s right to terminate, or otherwise modify, an employee’s employment at any time. 
 27.
Governing Law. The laws of the state of Washington shall govern all matters that relate to this Plan except to the extent it is superseded by the laws of the United States.
