在还没阅读劳工法令(工作时间和夜间工作 Hours of work and working at night)之前，请先了解以下两项要点：
【1】“工作时间(hours of work)”：意指一段由雇主支配, 而雇员没有自己时间和行动自由的时间。一般上雇员的休息时间是自由的，所以不能计算在“工作时间”内。
【2】“十小时延长时期(spread-over period)”：意指一段连续不断, 从工作开始算起的十个小时, 包括闲空, 休息时间在内。
例子：小明的工作时间是早上10点只晚上8点(10小时)，但下午2点至4点(2小时)是休息时间。意味着小明的真实工作时间只有八小时，因此在这“十小时延长时期”里并“不计算超时”。
不过，如果工作在十小时延长时期(spread-over period) 以外, 所有从延长时期终结时开始, 到工作终结时止的小时数, 将视为超时。
