"Are you working today?" or "Do you work today?"

[JaneGothic]

I am studying present simple and present continuous (permanent and temporary situations). While studying I did the test and there was this dialogue:

-Hey Anna, _____ today?(work)

-No, it's Tuesday. I don't work on Tuesdays

The answer was "are you working?" I wonder if it is possible to say "do you work?" to ask about her schedule. Some people say it is not natural, others says it's possible

It is both possible and not natural.

Thank you. In the future, please provide that information in the first post.

It is both possible and not natural.

While I agree with SoothingDave that it's possible, I find nothing unnatural about "Do you work today?".

It's probably how I'd ask the question, actually.

Okay, I will keep it in mind. Thanks.
