Free of duty? (2,7)

Ross

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

7

2,7

at leisure

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'free of duty?' is the definition.
'at leisure' can be an answer for 'free' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'of duty?' bit.

'free of' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'free' could be 'leisure' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'leisure' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'at' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for at leisure that I've seen before include "'Marry in haste, repent . . . . . . . . . '" , "resting" , "No hurry, having a rest" , "free" , "in an unhurried fashion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
