If you pay a guy to do work for you, the work is yours. You may, of course, agree to give it away, or meet any other demand someone has the cojones to impose and get away with. Any work of the guy that relates to what you are paying him for is YOURS, even if he performs it on his own time. If it doesn't relate, then that's another story. The whole thing, despite the precedence of existing court rulings, is best covered specifically by contract.
Sometimes allowances and additional monies and rights are give to someone because their skills and performance are far above average and they (possibly) deserve it. This is a judgement the employer has to make.
