Mehmet Haşim Efendi

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 Haşim Efendi began in Tosya in 1885/86 (AH 1303); the father's occupation was "Tosya Şer’iye Mahkemesi kâtibi". Mehmet Haşim began work in 1904/05, at about 18, on a first salary of 150 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1904/05, with Mehmet Haşim as Hububat Ambarı İdare Kalemi memuru and no place named.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 150 kuruş a month in 1904/05, when one in ten paid officials earned less. Over six years the salaries add up to 10,800 kuruş, 32 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. 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.
