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 İbrahim Fehim Efendi began in Gjilan (Gilan) in 1844/45 (AH 1260). Work began in Vranje (İvranya) in 1862/63, at about 18, on a first salary of 250 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1862/63, with İbrahim Fehim as a customs official (Rüsumat Memuru) in Vranje. Alongside, the lists for 1864 to 1880 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Rüsumat Memuru, with a rise to Aşar Emaneti ambarcısı in 1877/78. İbrahim Fehim then moved to Manisa from 1880 to 1882. Alongside, the lists for 1881/82 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Görevin sona ermesi. Next came Mudanya, Veria (Karaferye) and Skopje (Üsküp) from 1883 to 1889. Alongside, the lists for 1888 to 1890 give a second post, in Kratovo as Aşar ihale memuru. Alongside, the lists for 1889/90 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Görevin sona ermesi. Alongside, the lists for 1889 to 1893 give a second post, in Nova Varoš as Mal Muduru. For 1893 to 1896 the lists have no entry. Alongside, the lists for 1892/93 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Nakil.

Pay rose from 250 kuruş a month in 1862/63 to a peak of 1,000 in 1878, when 78 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1896/97.
