I once took a job and on my first day they gave me an employment contract, one clause of which stated that I would grant the company rights to use my name, voice, and likeness "for marketing purposes".
I said hell to the no. I was prepared to walk out rather than sign that.
Thankfully they drew up another contract om the spot with that bit removed. Not so thankfully, they dropped me before I could actually prove myself (about 3 weeks) so I might've pissed someone off.
That sort of thing is routine if you speak at events etc. I don't recall ever seeing it in one of the few employment contracts I've seen but companies quite commonly use employee quotes/photos/etc. to put a face on the company and, whether or not it was in a contract, most employers would probably assume it was part of the job at some level.
