İsa Bey

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 İsa Bey began in Şeki in 1846/47 (AH 1263); the father's occupation was "Şeki Hanı'nın veziri". İsa began work in 1866/67, at about 19. The first annual entry, for 1866/67, names İsa as Masarıfat Muhasebesi mülazımı, with no place. Alongside, the lists for 1902/03 give a second post, in Ankara as Tahsîl-i bakaya memuru. Entries spanning 44 years are rare, reached by fewer than 4 per cent of the 8,239 officials.

The salary went from 60 kuruş a month in 1866/67 to 5,000 in 1902/03, the peak, in Ankara, when 98 per cent of paid officials earned less. The peak lasted a single year; the next list gives 2,150 kuruş. In all, 37 years of salary come to 454,560 kuruş, 2.5 times what an official on the median salary earned in those years. Pay rose to 83.3 times the first salary; fewer than 3 per cent of the 2,724 officials paid for ten years or more rose as far. The final annual entry is for 1908/09.

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.
