The Wales Office has six layers of management reporting from the most senior to the most junior.

Collective salaries for officials employed in each layer are not given, due to disproportionate costs.

However, salary ranges for each grade stipulated by the Ministry of Justice, of which the Wales Office is a part; and the senior civil service pay structure for the latest year—are provided as follows by way of estimate.
