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 Mehmet Adil Efendi began in Şebinkarahisar (Karahisar-ı Şarki); the father's occupation was "Jandarma Onbaşı". From the first annual entry, for 1900/01 (AH 1318), to 1908/09, every annual entry places Mehmet Adil in the same post, Muhasebe Kalemi mukayyidi, in Şebinkarahisar, the birthplace. The lists give Infisal for 1900/01 instead of a title.

Pay rose from 35 kuruş a month in 1900/01 to a peak of 250 in 1906/07, in Şebinkarahisar, when 22 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, four years of salary come to 9,420 kuruş, 45 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The final annual entry is for 1908/09.
