Clause for Personal IP as an Employee?

Where would one go for a template clause to include in an employment contract to protect the employee's personal intellectual property. As in, OSS contributions or personal projects?

I'd be happy to chip in $1k to help the legal fees of creating such a standard clause. In CA, there's the protection of http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=lab... , but the burden of proof is on the employee.

I'd love to see a way to make this more employee-favoring.

Thanks for this. It is actually in Canada where I live so this applies to me.

To clarify, the grandparent's link refers to California, not Canada.

So I figured out much later. slaps hand to head. But, thanks because it does give an idea towards a clause.
