It means the law has served its purpose; the perpetrator has been found guilty and he is punished by having to serve certain mandatory requirements. It allows the defendant to continue to work and be an employable and productive member of the community, and his family. It saves the government the cost of incarcerating him.

It's best to consult with a legal professional for advice specific to your situation.
