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

Mustafa Şevki Efendi was born in 1863/64 (AH 1280); the father's occupation was "İçel Sancağı muhasebe başkâtibi". Work began in 1883/84, at about 20. The annual lists begin in 1883/84, with Mustafa Şevki as muhasebe kalemi mukayyidi and no place named. For 1891 to 1893 the lists have no entry. In 1897/98 the lists place Mustafa Şevki in Anamur.

Pay rose from 175 kuruş a month in 1883/84 to a peak of 540 in 1897/98, as Mal Muduru in Anamur, when two in three paid officials earned less. In all, ten years of salary come to 29,940 kuruş, 62 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1897/98.

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.
