I live and work in the US.  I just started a new job.  I have several automations I created outside work in the past.  I'd like to start using them at my work, but I want to make sure it will not give the intellectual property of the automations to my employer and not me.  I'd also love to learn of any steps I can take to use the automations at work without losing IP.  I really appreciate any help!

Here are some relevant facts:

- Programming is not a job responsibility.
- I'm not compensated for creating automations.
- The automations were not created during work or with any of my company's resources.
- While a lot of work was already done on the automations before joining this company, I would like to be able to make changes to them or even create new ones while employed here - previous bullet would still apply.
- The automations are in a support process (internal audit) of the company.  The company is not in the market of selling anything related to internal audit.
- I have not signed any agreements with my employer regarding to this type of product.  I did sign a standard agreement related to their products, which are in an industry miles away from internal audit.
