Essentials

Do I owe employees a share of data licensing revenue?

By SourceX Editorial · Updated

Short answer

Generally no. Work created on the job usually belongs to the company. Some companies choose to share proceeds or fund training as a goodwill gesture.

Why not usually#

Employment agreements typically assign work product to the company.

Exceptions#

Union agreements or specific contracts could say otherwise.

How SourceX handles it#

SourceX starts with a short fit check that shares no data. If it fits, rights are reviewed, a copy is prepared with personal and confidential details removed, and your company approves exactly what leaves before anything is delivered under a signed license.
