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
Mehmed Zeki Efendi was born in Kırşehir in 1873/74 (AH 1290); the father's occupation was "emekli". At about 23, in 1896/97, Mehmed Zeki began work, on a first salary of 300 kuruş. Every annual entry from 1896/97 to 1910/11 places Mehmed Zeki in the same post, polis nazırı, in Ankara. The lists give Azil (dismissal) for 1910/11 instead of a title.
The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 300 kuruş a month in 1896/97, in Ankara, when 26 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over four years the salaries add up to 10,800 kuruş, 46 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1910/11.
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.
