Usually if the work is created by a staff member in the course of their employment then the copyright will rest with the employer. However, if the creator is an independent contractor then they will usually retain copyright unless there is a written agreement otherwise. If no agreement exists, then the person that hired the contractor would normally be entitled to use it for the purpose it was commissioned for but may not be for other purposes.
If someone else is paid to create a work, then where does copyright rest?
