You can't steal an idea

So what is 'intellectual copyright'?
However if I pay someone to work for me I own what they do as part of their job (don't I?). Whats the point of hiring say a programmer to build my big idea (or help me work it out, then build it) - if they later claim it as their own? Can they claim all their emails (written at work for work) and charge me for using them - I don't think so.
