- user5994461 10y agoThis is not the case in most countries in the world. Given that you work on your own time and don't use company's resources.
- hak8or 10y agoWhat new York state law prohibits this? My contract says that as a salaried employee I work at the company for 23:59 hours Monday to saturday, so it's only Sunday that's off the clock. And from what I understood, all inventions they own, but I am still very iffy on what's qualified as an invention. A coworker even asked for bosses blessing to sell some stuff on the side unrelated to the company, he said no because as per the contract that wouldn't let coworker give full undivided attention to the company.
