This means you stop working and can go home. Your job for the day is done, and your boss says you do not need to work anymore. For example, if you work until 5 o'clock, you leave your job at that time and are free to go.
People often say, "What time do you get off?" when asking about the end of your workday, so it's useful for making plans with friends or family.
