If a force does not act parallel to the resulting displacement, what is the effect on the work done by the force?

Then only the component of the force that's parallel to the displacement
is used to calculate the work.  The component of force that's perpendicular
to the displacement  doesn't move through any distance at all, so its contribution
to the total work is zero.
