While judges may say you can drive to and from work that is incorrect according to the CA DMV. They have no "waivers" or "exemptions."
When your license is suspended, it is suspended, no matter what any judge may tell you to the contrary.

actually per my research and knowing others who got a 'permit' it is actually correct:
WHAT IS A STATUTORY SUMMARY SUSPENSION?
A Statutory Summary Suspension is an automatic
suspension that the Secretary of State places on your
driver's license because you either refused a blood,
breath or urine test; or you took such a test and it
revealed a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08 or
greater; or it revealed illegal drugs in your system.
This suspension will go into effect on the 46th day
after you were arrested.
If you have not had a DUI suspension, supervision, or
conviction within the last 5 years, you will be
classified as a "first offender" for suspension
purposes. (This does not mean that you are a "first
offender" for DUI sentencing purposes.)
A first offender will be suspended for:
* 90 days if you failed a blood, breath or urine
test;
* six months if you refused to take a blood,
breath or urine test.
If you are a "first offender" then you are eligible
for a Judicial Driving Permit for work, school or
medical purposes.
If you are not a "first offender" then you will be
suspended for:
* one year if you failed a blood, breath or urine
test;
* three years if you refused to take a blood,
breath or urine test.
Regardless of your eligibility for a driving permit,
your summary suspension can be challenged by filing a
"Petition to Rescind the Statutory Summary Suspension"
with the Court. The grounds on which the suspension
may be challenged are limited by statute (See, 625
ILCS 5/2-118.1).
