Life

This official, whose name is not recorded, was born in Vize in 1870/71 (AH 1287). The record gives the community as Muslim (Müslüman) and the nationality as Turkish.

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 İğneada in 1889/90 (AH 1307). The official was then about 19 years old. The record gives no years of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet). The first-salary field gives 500 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1889/90, the official was about 19 years old.

The first annual entry, for 1889/90, shows Muhasebe Kalemi in İğneada, with 500 kuruş a month. In 1890/91 the record shows 2. Müdür in Mount Athos (Aynaroz), the salary going from 500 to 750 kuruş a month (before: Muhasebe Kalemi in İğneada). In 1894/95 the record shows 2. Müdür in Nevşehir, with 750 kuruş a month (before: 2. Müdür in Mount Athos). In 1896/97 the record shows 3. Müdür in Nevşehir, the salary going from 750 to 600 kuruş a month (before: 2. Müdür in Nevşehir). In 1900/01 the record shows 2. Müdür in Nevşehir, the salary going from 600 to 1,000 kuruş a month (before: 3. Müdür in Nevşehir). In 1902/03 the record shows Müfettiş Muavini in Adana, the salary going from 1,000 to 1,200 kuruş a month (before: 2. Müdür in Nevşehir). In 1904/05 the record shows Basmudur Vekili in Adana, the salary going from 1,200 to 1,700 kuruş a month (before: Müfettiş Muavini in Adana).

The highest salary, 1,700 kuruş a month, is first recorded in 1904/05 as Basmudur Vekili. 95 per cent of the other officials with a recorded salary that year earned less. The median salary of all officials that year was 450 kuruş. Over 16 years with a salary the median is 750 kuruş a month, with 4 rises and 1 cut. The largest rise, 500 kuruş, is seen in 1904/05.
