work obligations

Professional duties owed

Work obligations are the duties and responsibilities one must fulfill as part of employment or professional commitments.

The phrase often appears when these duties conflict with other parts of life: I can't make it to the party—work obligations.

Unlike simply saying "work," the term emphasizes the binding, non-optional nature of the commitment.
