Hey Sasha, how are you?
The correct expression is ''take time off (of) (from) work'', which means ''to stop working temporarily''. As a matter of fact, the idiom ''time off'' is used to mean ''(some) time away from work, school, or other responsibilities''; ''a period of time that is free from employment or a break from one's employment or school''. Such expression is typically used with the following verbs: ''get'', ''have'', ''give (someone)'' and ''take (some)''.
Below you shall find a set of useful examples:
E.g.: ''I'm looking forward for some time off from my studies over the break to catch up with family and friends.''
E.g.: ''I'm taking some time off of work to look after my daughter while she recovers from her surgery.''
E.g.: ''I'll have to get time off for jury duty.''
E.g.: ''I have time off to go downtown and shop.''
E.g.: ''I may consider giving you some time off of work by the end of this month.''
E.g.: ''I really need some time off from teaching to work on my dissertation.''
E.g.: ''He took time off to make some phone calls.''
Hope that helps!
Should you have any further questions, do not hesitate to contact me. I shall be pleased to help.
