It depends on whether I (will) have any free time (or not).
It depends on whether I have to get to work early (or not).
'Or not' is optional. Most native speakers omit 'will' (i.e., use simple present for future in such subordinate clauses). 'On' is necessary except in casual conversation, where it is often omitted.
