Mehmed Halid 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 Mehmed Halid Efendi began in Varna in 1869/70 (AH 1286). At about 15, in 1883/84, Mehmed Halid began work in Varna, on a first salary of 150 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1883/84, with Mehmed Halid as Muallim-i sâni and no place named, with a rise to Muhasebeci in 1908/09. In place of a title the lists give İstifa (resignation) for 1884/85 and Infisal for 1895/96.

Pay rose from 150 kuruş a month in 1883/84 to a peak of 1,750 in 1911, as Muhasebeci, when four in five paid officials earned less. Over 29 years the salaries add up to 257,700 kuruş, 1.7 times what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1911.

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.
