The phrase "kiam mi finos mian laboron" means "when I will finish my job" or more accurately "when i finish my job" but it also means "when will I finish my job" which means two separate things. Did I make a mistake or is there no way of distinguishing these phrases?

Kiam mi finos mian laboron? = When will I finish my job? - use '?' in writing and intonation in speaking.
Mi venos, kiam mi finos mian laboron. = l will come when I finish my job. - English in this case uses Present instead of Future. Use the logic to select the verb tense instead of blindly copy English.
