It depends on + will?

Howdy,

Is the following sentence correct?

If I switch to part-time then it'll probably happen in February but I'm not sure yet. Maybe I'll keep working full time. It depends on what my boss will tell me. He's not in right now. Naturally, I'll let you know in advance.

Thanks

Consider changing "what my boss will tell me" to "what my boss tells me."

Hmm...

What's the difference between:
  • it depends on what my boss tells me
  • it depends on what my boss will tell me
Can they both be used when we refer to a future event?

Yes. Native speakers often omit will in such cases.
