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 Süleyman Fuat Bey began in Istanbul; the father's occupation was "Karahisar-ı Sâhib Sancağı naibi". Work began in Mosul (Musul) in 1884/85 (AH 1302), on a first salary of 30 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1884/85, places Süleyman Fuat in Mosul as Vilayet Mektubi Kalemi mübeyyizi. The lists have no entry for 1886 to 1893. Alongside, the lists for 1885 to 1900 give a second post, in Istanbul as Mahkeme-i Temyiz İstida Dairesi mülazımı.

Pay rose from 30 kuruş a month in 1884/85 to a peak of 300 in 1899/1900, in Istanbul, when 29 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over nine years the salaries add up to 17,520 kuruş, 40 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1899/1900.

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.
