It's going to be stated in the contract. In the US the developer of code has an inherent copyright on that code. So companies will 'always' require you to waive this right. Some tend to get over zealous though and do things like claim ownership of all code you write while an employee for them. You could write some code while on a month long vacation in the Bahamas, and they could still claim ownership of it. Check with your company. If you think the software stands a very good chance of being able to be commercialized then check with a lawyer instead.
