That is actually not true. Any software you develop whether on company time or not belongs to you UNLESS you sign some type of intellectual agreement with the company prior to the development of that work.
At least in the US "a work prepared by an employee within the scope of his or her employment" is called "work for hire" [1], and the employer is the legal author for copyright purposes.
