It might depend on how the IP relates to your current job and your contract. If you are working for a communications company and create new software for using a communication protocol in a certain way they may be able to claim it no matter what. Same job but create a new game that uses standard communication protocols in the same old way and you are probably clear.

EDIT: Forgot to cover one other thing. Anything you do during work hours can conceivably be claimed by them since they technically paid you to write it.
