You can get permission, but the acceptance or denial of that permission will be up to the officer monitoring your house arrest. Before you take off to your employment, make sure that you get a travel permit before you go. Violating a condition of house arrest, even to go to work, could result in a revocation of your conditions. This would mean that you would have to appear back in court under a regular arrest situation, not merely a house arrest situation.
