Ford Motor said on Monday that it was near the finish line in its two-year effort to pare its work force.

The company said it would lay off 500 employees in the United States this week and an unspecified number over the next several weeks over the next several weeks as part of a broader plan to shrink its salaried ranks by 7,000 people, or 10 percent, with the sharpest cuts at higher ranks. Including jobs cut earlier this year, a total of 800 jobs in the United States will be cut by August, the company said.

“Consistent with our goal to reduce bureaucracy, we will have reduced management structure by close to 20 percent,” Ford’s chief executive, Jim Hackett, said in an email to employees. “This will result in annual savings of about $600 million.”

The reductions in the United States include 1,500 jobs eliminated last year through buyouts. The other cuts have been overseas, where the final phase of the restructuring should be completed by the end of August.
