Read the documents you agreed to before starting work. There have been some really nice jobs that I have had to pass on due to clauses like this which would limit my learning and earning potential when not working for them which would be unacceptable. If you see some verbiage that starts to look very confusing about what is their time and your time that is probably the clause that says they own everything you do while employed by them, especially if there is a section to list your current creations and if they are not listed or new ones are created they are the sole property of the company on or off the clock.
