Ill-suited for work (6)

I believe the answer is:

duties

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'ill-suited for work' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'ill-suited' is the wordplay.
'ill' is an anagram indicator.
'suited' with letters rearranged gives 'DUTIES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for duties that I've seen before include "Moral or legal obligations" , "Obligations or functions" , "Obligations or taxes" , "Suited to responsibilities" , "levies" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
