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 MUSTAFA SUBHİ EFENDİ began in Varna in 1883/84 (AH 1301); the father's occupation was "Şam Hamidiye Muhacir Mahallesi muhtarı". Work began in Gürün in 1905/06, at about 21, on a first salary of 300 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1905/06, with MUSTAFA SUBHİ as Bidâyet Mahkemesi zabıt kâtibi in Gürün, where the entries run to 1907/08. Alongside, the lists for 1907/08 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Humus Arâzî-i Seniyye İdaresi Muharrem Şubesi kâtibi. In place of a title the lists give İstifa (resignation) for 1907/08.

Pay rose from 300 kuruş a month in 1905/06 to a peak of 400 in 1907/08, when 40 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, three years of salary come to 12,000 kuruş, 74 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1907/08.
