First work is recorded in Istanbul in 1867/68 (AH 1284). The official was then about 16 years old. The record gives 3 years of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet) before the first salary.

The median salary of all officials that year was 600 kuruş. Over 28 years with a salary the median is 600 kuruş a month, with 3 rises and 4 cuts. The largest rise, 600 kuruş, is seen in 1878.
