I don't know, if there's a short and long form of this in Japanese, so I can add "from work" as a clarification in brackets to it, like in English. But if that's possible, then that's, how I need it translated.
Otherwise the situation should be clear. It's about finishing work in an hour from now and getting off = becoming free.

Yes, as you said, "get off" in this case is to leave and/or be free from whatever you are engaged in. How you translate it all depends on the context though. Is there any particular context you are in?

一時間で済ます。
”一時間で済ます” is a perfect expression for we get off in an hour, I believe.
