They would have been forced to work...if they did not, they would have likely been killed by a guard.

I knew a man - a non-Jewish German - who was a prisoner at Dachau. One day in the summer of 1942, when it was very hot, an SS guard accused him of not working properly. Thereupon the guard flew into a rage and punched the prisoner hard in the face several times, knocking out several teeth.
Getting the prisoners to work was not difficult.

ViviNot working was forbidden.
A former inmate of Dachau that I knew became so weak and ill that he just could not carrying on working on one hot day in the summer. As SS guard punched him hard in the face several times, knocking out several teeth. He collapsed. The guard kicked him and decided he was dead. He then ordered two other prisoners to put him on the pile of corpses due to be cremated the next day. Fortunately, prisoners in the hut close to pile of bodies noticed him stir slightly and they took him back to their hut and nursed him. - He survived!
