US Immigration

I submitted my spousal green card application in April. Can I work with the receipt or I have to wait for actual work permit before I can work?

I’m on L1A and was born in India. I’m preparing to apply for GC. Would be really grateful if anyone could help me understand the below. Many thanks for your valuable time.
