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 MEHMED SADEDDİN EFENDİ began in Komotini (Gümülcine) in 1866/67 (AH 1283). The personnel record dates the first work in Komotini to 1880/81, after the first annual entry, on a first salary of 0 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1878/79, places MEHMED SADEDDİN in Komotini, the birthplace, as Gümülcine Rüşdiye Mektebi öğrencisi (Görevin sona ermesi), where the entries run to 1892/93. The lists have no entry for 1886 to 1888. At the same time, from 1892 to 1910, the lists also place MEHMED SADEDDİN in Istanbul as Ziraat Bankası İdare-i Umumiyesi Muhasebe Kalemi mukayyid refiki. The lists give Infisal for 1885/86; İstifa (resignation) for 1890/91 and 1892/93 instead of a title.

The salary went from 40 kuruş a month in 1880/81 to 1,200 in 1909/10, the peak, in Istanbul, when three in four paid officials earned less. Over 25 years the salaries add up to 185,280 kuruş, 1.5 times what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1909/10.
