The last operator I worked for was pretty reasonable with this. They'd let us know early in the day if they tacked on some additional flying. (Most of the time not). If not, sometimes they would have us hang out for hour or so at the FBO. If nothing came up, you are done.
Also, when are you alerted of the following day's schedule?
If there are other aircraft in the vicinity scheduled to launch in the not so distant future, they will have you stick around to back them up. There's no sitting around just because you have duty time remaining like NetJets seems to do. If you end the day in a more remote area they will likely release you for the day. The next days tentative schedule is now being sent late afternoon and confirmed when you call to duty off.
