How do you say the command “Walter, to work.” in French?

Question

In episode 5 of the anime Hellsing Ultimate, the leader of the best organisation in the world in slaying vampires is surrounded by vampires ?‍♂️. She isn’t nervous one bit. She then gives her right-hand man, her butler named Walter, the command “ Walter, to work.” Walter then kills all the vampires surrounding her.
I very much would like to know how to say the command “..., to work.” in French. Does anybody know? 
I first thought that “Walter, to work.” is short for “Walter, off to work.”. But I don’t think this is true because I feel like the command “Walter, to work.“ is formal whereas the command “Walter, off to work” is not. I feel that this is true because the sentence “I’m off to work.” isn’t formal at all.
Lol so again ?, how do I say the formal command “Walter, to work.” in French?
Thank you for your help! ?
Side notes:
(1) Her family is and has been extremely rich for generations.

As I mentioned in a comment and then neglected, you can simply say:
« Walter, au travail ! »
« Walter, au boulot ! »
Au travail is probably the more formal, but not by much. Both would work.
Thanks to @Dimitris and the community for the nudge.

No native speaker. Just my two cents:

Walter, au boulot ! Au boulot, Walter !

or even better (following user @jlliagre suggestion)

Walter, au travail ! Au travail, Walter !

(see the comments of users @livresque and @jlliagre).

Here are some possibilities.

Mets-toi à l'œuvre, Walter !

À l'œuvre, Walter ! — , Walter, à l'œuvre !

Walter, mets-toi à la tâche !
