time off of work" or "time off work"?

Question

Is it "time off of work" or "time off work" without 'of'?

Ex: I need to take some time off (of) work next month.

off of is not wrong, but colloq. – Manish Jan 13 '15 at 20:04 — Manish, Jan 13 '15 at 20:04

"Time off" is leisure time

The verb we usually use with it is "Take", making the phrase "take time off". The rest is optional [ of work, from work, etc. ]

Welcome to [ELU.SE] @kns. Can you substantiate your answer in some way? How would the OP know if your opinion carries weight, if it were opposed to mine? – Jan 14 '15 at 00:21
