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.

You agree with your service location on the following:
- starting date of your work service
