Sorry, I meant to add this to my first answer, but maybe I have drunk too much wine - annierats, Nov 6, 2015

We don't need you to come back until Monday.

No necesitamos que vuelvas hasta lunes.

This is the closest I can come to you sentence.

We don't need you until Monday.

No te necesitamos hasta lunes.

This is simpler.

no tenemos que volver hasta el lunes= we don't have to return until Monday? - bosquederoble, Nov 6, 2015
As a hint, the way I can think of doing it involves subjunctive. ;) - bosquederoble, Nov 6, 2015

No necesitamos que vuelve / No es necesario que vuelve .................... - 005faa61, Nov 6, 2015
Julian, you would use vuelve and not vuelva? - bosquederoble, Nov 6, 2015
