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 Mehmet Muharrem Efendi began in Kars; the father's occupation was "Ankara İdadi Mektebi ambar ve depo memuru". Work began in Beypazarı in 1885/86 (AH 1303), on a first salary of 300 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1885/86, with Mehmet Muharrem as Suvari Tahsildari in Beypazarı, where the entries run to 1896/97. Alongside, the lists for 1896/97 give a second post, in Ankara as idadi mektebi ambar memuru.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 300 kuruş a month in 1885/86, as Suvari Tahsildari in Beypazarı, when 27 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 12 years pay ended where it began, at 300 kuruş. In all, 12 years of salary come to 43,200 kuruş, 74 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1896/97.

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.
