I agree with hof.kenfused... Just be careful that your contract clause doesn't state specifically that they own the full rights to all work done by you and that selling what you wrote doesn't break any non-compete language you may or may not have agreed to in the contract. Standard boilerplate contracts generally include such things I suspect as mine does for one of my current clients.
Your price for your work seems cheap and is probably obvious to your employer however they may not care about you slaving for that wage if they have it in writing that they own all source code exclusively.
