shooting where i work

[brantfordbandit]

Hi everyone, my employer asked if i would be interested in shooting some of our large industrial products. Sure, what the heck i'm going in on Saturday for some overtime i'll shoot it then. Sounds great, time and a half to practice my hobby plus they said they would give me something for my PP time. Now the question? Do i take say the $100 PP money and hand over a cd with the images on it? Do i give up all rights to the photo's? Do i tell them if they circulate via e-mail it is a violation of the copyright laws???
What should i do?
Thanks a bunch.

I don't think threatening your employer with copyright violations sounds like good sportmanship. Just take the hundred bucks and take the opportunity to practice your craft.
