Work made by an employee
Also known as: employee workwork for hire (CZ)
A work created by an author to fulfil employment duties; the employer exercises the economic rights.
This does not apply to music you create on your own and for yourself. A commissioned work (such as a jingle) follows different rules – the contract defines the scope of use.
