Life

Hasan Efendi was born in Karahisari sahib in 1847/48 (AH 1264). The record gives the community as Muslim (Müslüman) and the nationality as Turkish.

Schooling recorded: Sıbyan Mektebi, with 4 years of schooling recorded. The personnel records also mark the telegraph school. The record marks no qualification (diploma, certificate, training or decoration). Languages recorded, with the skill words of the record: Turkish, with Kitabet.

First work is recorded in Istanbul in 1877/78 (AH 1294). The official was then about 29 years old. The record gives 2 years of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet) before the first salary. The first-salary field gives 400 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1878/79, the official was about 31 years old.

The first annual entry, for 1878/79, shows Muhabere Memuru in Malko Tarnovo (Tırnovacık), with 400 kuruş a month. In 1880/81 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Metsovo (Meçova), the salary going from 400 to 500 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Malko Tarnovo). In 1886/87 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Delvine, the salary going from 500 to 600 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Metsovo). In 1891/92 the record shows 3. Müdür in Morto, with 600 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Delvine). No annual entry is recorded for 1879/80.

The highest salary, 600 kuruş a month, is first recorded in 1886/87 as Muhabere Memuru. 59 per cent of the other officials with a recorded salary that year earned less. The median salary of all officials that year was 500 kuruş. Over 19 years with a salary the median is 600 kuruş a month, with 2 rises and 1 cut. The largest rise, 100 kuruş, is seen in 1880/81. From the first salary to the last the salary grew by 1.59 per cent a year on average.
