Just had my rear brakes changed on my 2017 Outback, and now with the electronic parking brake turned off , the light in the dash still shows " electronic parking brake". The parking brake itself appears to be off.

Take the vehicle back to those who serviced the rear brakes.

They must have done something wrong.

Thanks. I just did today, and he found the wire at the rear brake had disconnected, he reconnected, and all is well now.  
I should have looked there myself.

No , you should have called the shop when you first saw the light.
