Commentary for Avodah Zarah 129:7

ורמינהי השוכר את הפועל ולעיתותי ערב אמר לו העבר חבית של יין נסך ממקום למקום שכרו מותר טעמא דא"ל לעיתותי ערב אין כולי יומא לא

Even if he did not ask him [to remove the jug of yayin nesekh] towards evening? Against this they raised the following: One who hires a Jewish workman and towards evening says to him, “Remove a jug of yayin nesekh from this place to that,” his wage is permitted. The reason [why it is permitted] is because he asked him to do so towards evening consequently [if he was asked to do so] throughout the day it would not [be permitted]!
