You don't indicate what state. In the state's I'm familiar with, you would need to go back to the judge and get a modification of the schedule your restricted license is valid for. The judges are usually pretty clear when they allow the restricted license that they need you to follow the restrictions down to the letter.

Again, what state is this?

The hours of restriction on you license are not a suggestion or an example of work hours, nor are they based on your work hours and change automatically if your hours change. You need to to drive only during the hours listed on your license and ONLY to and from work. You can try to get the hours changed but be prepared for the court to say no to you being allowed to drive in the evening/night/very early morning. That's because those are very high times for offending.

Bottom Line: You need to ask the court before you drive at any time outside of 8-6 and have that change reflected on your license or license paperwork so you could show to an officer, even if the driving is for work. Anything else is a violation and risks arrest and sanction.
