The financial situation is improving but we aren't out of the woods yet.
We are having problems with staffing and hope to have new recruits soon, but it is difficult to see when we will be out of the woods.
I do not think it is a phrase easily used in relation to too much work. How about you give us a sentence in which you think it might be used.

Out of the woods >> out of a dangerous, perplexing, or
difficult situation(this I wonder if the three could be separated or is it an absolutely one whole definition of the given idiom)
* Even at weekend, I spent time doing such a tedious job at work but I´m out of the woods now.
