Punctuation in a question will be the same as for any sentence, except that the concluding mark is the question mark.

Your sentence can be written in three ways :

Did you finish it or do I have to work on it?

Did you finish it? Will I have to work on it?

Did you finish it? I have to work on it.


Have you finished it already or will I have to work on it?
is another way of saying this.
