They are both odd. I don't understand your use of the passive.
If you have been given work to do, but you have not started yet, then "I haven't started my work yet."
If you have a job/employment, but the date you start working there is still in the future, then "My job hasn't started yet."

Sumith,
The sentance 'My work has not been started yet' is completely correct.
Well, 'I have'nt started my work' will do.
If you need to give more importance to 'my work' in the sentance, you can use passive voice and in that perspective, the first sentance holds the meaning.

In my opinion, if you write in the passive, it will sound marked.
You use the passive when you don't know who did it (or didn't do it), you don't want to specify who that person was, or you want to emphasize the recipient of the action.
If it's "your work," then it's clear that you are the person who has done it (or is supposed to do it). That leaves only the third reason - to e
