Some companies even consider all work you do during working hours (regardless of the device you use) as their IP and I've even had a contract that stated that any work I do inside or outside office ours is considered IP of the company unless I have explicit approval of my manager (an email saying it's OK I work on my own open-source projects). So just check with your manager/HR what the rules are.
