It is not accurate. Your employer owns all intellectual property you create on or off work (meaning you technically can't contribute to Wikipedia or most open source projects) and even owns the bedtime stories you make up to tell your children, but ONLY if you sign a contract saying so. By pointing out the above cases I have gotten an employer (not in NY) to alter the language of their IP contract.
