Out of curiosity, what are the penalties for putting unenforceable stuff in an employment contract?

Are there any?

Typically there is no penalty - and contracts explicitly declare that all clauses are severable so that the rest of the contract remains valid even if one of the scare-clauses is found to be invalid. IANAL
