You can sue your employer for invasion of privacy. One type of invasion of privacy is the use of one's name or likeness for commercial purposes without consent.
Your damages (the amount of compensation you are seeking in your lawsuit for invasion of privacy) would include general damages and if applicable, mental distress, physical illness and harm to your business or social interests.
