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 İdris Efendi began in Sivas in 1873/74 (AH 1290). Work began in Shkodër (İşkodra) in 1903/04, at about 30, on a first salary of 120 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1903/04, names İdris as muhafaza kolcusu, with no place. The lists have no entry for 1905 to 1908 and 1909 to 1911.

The salary went from 120 kuruş a month in 1903/04 to 300 in 1908/09, the peak, when one in three paid officials earned less. Over four years the salaries add up to 11,640 kuruş, 53 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1911.

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.
