Making the contract

Service location must have an up-to-date agreement on how to operate as a service location and the login credentials for Sivariweb.

Once the service location has decided to take you into the work service:

• You agreed to start and complete the work service.
• Your service location fulfils and signs the commitment contract in Sivariweb.
• The commitment contract will then be signed and reviewed by you in Omasivari.
• Information about the commitment contract is transferred to Non-military Service Centre.

A commitment is a contract of performing work service at service location and it is always necessary.
Non-military Service Centre orders servant to the work service based on a commitment contract.

You agree with your service location on the following:

• starting date of your work service
• main tasks
• accommodation
• payment schedule
• dining
• business trips
• health care
