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 Ömer Fevzi Efendi began in Kütahya in 1863/64 (AH 1280); the father's occupation was "Haffaf". Ömer Fevzi began work in Istanbul in 1882/83, at about 19, on a first salary of 300 kuruş. The first annual entry, for 1882/83, places Ömer Fevzi in Istanbul as Numune-i Terakki Mektebi ikinci, üçüncü ve dördüncü sınıflar muallimi, where the entries run to 1904/05. For 1883 to 1888 and 1890 to 1896 the lists have no entry. Alongside, the lists for 1904 to 1910 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Teftiş ve muayene memuru.

The salary went from 300 kuruş a month in 1882/83 to 800 in 1902/03, the peak, in Istanbul, when 76 per cent of paid officials earned less. The last annual entry is for 1909/10.
