It's not a problem of policies; for capitalism to function it needs you to surrender the product of your labour to your employer, so it's actually in the law that anything you make while at work legally belongs to your employer.
I can't speak to your country's law specifically however (whichever country that is) and some have different wording, but I can be pretty sure that such a law exists
100% agreed and what I would expect. I was using the term policies a bit loosely because I'm a public employee and most of our normal "policies" are outlined in state law.
All of my IP de facto goes to the state, but there are a few instances where the laws allow me to get approval to release minor bits of media that I've produced. I think this is mostly because they don't currently use them as a source of income.
I won't be doing this without covering my butt first!
