Photo of employee used in yellow page and internet advertisements without consent.

Your question does not make clear who you are in relation to the employee or whom actually used the photo. What you should know is that generally speaking one has a right to control the use of their image and profit from the use of it in commercial settings. That being said, the employee may have a claim against someone, depending on the use. However, you should also know that this right varies between states. Hence, you might want to consult with an attorney to see what the various parties rights are.

I hope this helps.
