A quick definition of able to work:

The term "able to work" means that a person is capable of having a job. If someone is able to work, they cannot receive unemployment benefits because of an illness or injury. This is according to laws related to employment and compensation for workers. It is important for workplaces to prioritize safety to prevent injuries that could prevent someone from being able to work.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Able to work means that a person is capable of employment. If someone is able to work, they cannot receive unemployment benefits due to illness or injury.

For example, in the case of International Union, et al. v. Johnson Controls, Inc., the court ruled that employees who were able to work could not be excluded from certain jobs based on their reproductive abilities. In Berrios v. 735 Ave. of the Americas, LLC, the court found that an employee who was able to work was not entitled to workers' compensation benefits for an injury that did not prevent them from working.

These examples illustrate that being able to work is an important factor in determining eligibility for certain benefits and protections in the workplace.
