Copyrights

If I create some software for my boss for work can I copyright it personally. Ok here's the back story. I work for a construction company, but I'm good with computers. My boss wants to make a franchise business and he asked me to make the software that he will eventually sell with the business. Technically do I own the software or does he. If I do I want to copyright it so I can get a percentage of future sales. Legally can I do this?

Re: Copyrights

You most likely will not be considered the author of the software unless you have the necessary language in your employment contract but I would need to know more to give you a legal opinion.
