I want to create a hobby project and release it under MIT. I work as a developer professionally and i have some clauses in my employment contract that gives any IP to my employer. My employer is open to amending these and/or adding exceptions for specific projects. Can anyone point to guidance resources on how to formulate such exceptions properly?

    If you use company resources they absolutely can claim ownership on whatever you create. That much I do know. Though to be fair I’m in Canada so our laws will definitely differ in some ways.
