Volkswagen Golf Battery Problem

My car had a service yesterday and the cambelt was replaced. Last night while driving the car cut-out on 2 occasions. Today the battery light stays on and warning says "Alternator Workshop!" What does this mean? Can I drive the car. Is there something that the mechanic had faulted on?
