Life

This official, whose name is not recorded, was born in Bitlis in 1873/74 (AH 1290). The record gives the community as Muslim (Müslüman), the nationality as Turkish and the father's occupation as Telgraf Memuru.

Schooling recorded: Rüşdiye Mektebi, with 7 years of schooling recorded. The record marks no qualification (diploma, certificate, training or decoration).

First work is recorded in Van in 1889/90 (AH 1307). The official was then about 16 years old. The record gives 0.5 years of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet) before the first salary. The first-salary field gives 237 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1889/90, the official was about 16 years old.

The first annual entry, for 1889/90, shows Muhabere Memuru in Gevaş, with 237 kuruş a month. In 1890/91 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Garzan, the salary going from 237 to 250 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Gevaş). In 1891/92 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Van, the salary going from 250 to 300 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Garzan). In 1892/93 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Siirt, the salary going from 300 to 400 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Van). In 1894/95 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Bitlis, with 400 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Siirt). In 1895/96 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Erciş, with 400 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Bitlis). In 1898/99 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Muş, with 400 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Erciş). In 1899/1900 the record shows Muhabere Memuru in Malazgirt, with 400 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Muş). In 1900/01 the record shows 3. Müdür in Şemdinli (Şemdinan), the salary going from 400 to 540 kuruş a month (before: Muhabere Memuru in Malazgirt). In 1904/05 the record shows 3. Müdür in Muradiye (Bargiri), the salary going from 540 to 500 kuruş a month (before: 3. Müdür in Şemdinli).

The highest salary, 540 kuruş a month, is first recorded in 1900/01 as 3. Müdür. 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 16 years with a salary the median is 400 kuruş a month, with 4 rises and 1 cut. The largest rise, 140 kuruş, is seen in 1900/01. From the first salary to the last the salary grew by 5.1 per cent a year on average. The last salary is recorded in 1904/05, when 52 per cent of the other officials with a recorded salary that year earned less.
