As long as the I-129 petition was received by the date that the previous I-129 petition expired, you CAN continue to work in H-1B status, until the new I-129 petition is adjudicated. However, you cannot leave the country.

If the employer is represented by an Immigration Attorney, then s/he should have addressed your questions & concerns regarding the H-1B visa extension, & I would recommend that you discuss this matter with the employer's attorney asap.
