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 Sadık Efendi began in Kütahya in 1877/78 (AH 1294); the father's occupation was "Uşak Kazası eski Tahrir-i Vergi kâtibi". Mehmet Sadık began work in 1890/91, at about 14. The first annual entry, for 1890/91, names Mehmet Sadık as Tahrir-i Vergi Kalemi mülazımı, with no place. Next came Kütahya in 1907/08. Alongside, the lists for 1907 to 1910 give a second post, in Gediz as Tapu Kitabeti refiki.

The salary went from 150 kuruş a month in 1898/99 to 200 in 1909/10, the peak, in Gediz, when 7 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 12 years the salaries add up to 22,200 kuruş, 35 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1909/10.

Places in order of time
