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 Süleyman Sırrı Efendi began in Gelibolu; the father's occupation was "Tahrir ve Vergi Dairesi Kâtibi (mütekaid)". The personnel record dates the first work in Gelibolu to 1899/1900 (AH 1317), after the first annual entry. The annual lists begin in 1894/95, with Süleyman Sırrı as Gönüllü asker and no place named. At the same time, from 1899 to 1908, the lists also place Süleyman Sırrı in Gelibolu as Mülazım (Tahrir ve Mal Kalemi). Alongside, the lists for 1907/08 give a second post, in Keşan as Mal Muduru, with a rise to Mal Muduru.

The salary went from 87 kuruş a month in 1901/02 to 200 in 1907/08, the peak, as Mal Muduru in Keşan, when 16 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, seven years of salary come to 9,444 kuruş, 26 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1907/08.
