Annual salary study and register readings

This study view uses the annual salary reference records. The main biography brings together the wider career and its sources.

Life and register readings

The life of İsmail Hakkı Efendi began in Giresun. Work began in 1888/89 (AH 1306). The annual lists begin in 1888/89, with İsmail Hakkı as a candidate official (Mülazım) and no place named. The lists have no entry for 1889 to 1891.

Pay rose from 240 kuruş a month in 1891/92 to a peak of 320 in 1909/10, as Muayene Memuru, when 28 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, 13 years of salary come to 32,460 kuruş, 48 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1909/10.

Places in order of time

Each number is a stop: the birthplace, the place of first work, then every place of the annual entries in turn. The year beside an arrow is the first entry at the new place.
