Documentation

Whether to make reported time relative to timeclock-workday.

For example, if the length of a normal workday is eight hours, and you work four hours on Monday, then the amount of time "remaining" on Tuesday is twelve hours -- relative to an averaged work period of eight hours -- or eight hours, non-relative. So relative time takes into account any discrepancy of time under-worked or over-worked on previous days. This only affects the timeclock mode line display.
