nibor46056yDepends what your work contract says. It's not uncommon for the employer to own the work you do, especially if you do it on the company's time -
endor54476yNo budget = no work.
Any extra work that was not already specified in your contract is extra work, and requires extra compensation.
Be careful how you play your cards though - not everyone takes being told 'no' very well. -
kurast3256yIf you did on company time it is theirs already and you cannot charge.
However if you did out of office hours it is yours to ask the price. -
C0D4644176y@kurast unless... that contract has a "all work is the sole property of company x while employed"
But yes, if you built anything or even a wireframe due to their request, it's theirs by default.

Found something true as 1 == 1
Don't even know how to start. I currently work as technician (fix broken shit devices like apple and manage our servers).
Before the rant, here's a note: I'm a newbie-ish something.. Like I do some Java and Android stuff but nothing amazing (yet).
Here's my rant:
Boss: Hey, you mentioned in your CV that you do some programming.
Me: Yep, but just starting. Already made few apps but nothing crazy big.
Boss: Well, doesn't really matter. But, can you make an app and a website for us? We'll decide on the budget later.
Me: *kinda suspicious* Ehm, yep? I'll just make a wireframe and show you what I came up with.
*few weeks later*
Boss: So how's the app doing?
Me: I told ya that I'm making only wireframe. If you want the app you can:
a) pay for it
b) don't do anything and I'll make it open-source
Boss: No don't do that. We want the source on our FTP server.
Me: Riiight... That's a big no-no for me. It's gonna be on VCS, otherwise you can forget about the app and web.
Boss: *staring silently at me*
Me: ...
To this day, not a single response from him. We had one meeting where I presented the Website and app design, everyone was ok with it but no answer when I asked about the budget. Should I just scrap these projects and continue making them on github ('cuz I kinda like to learn new shit this way)
