If you find work before your SIN expires, you can keep working even with an expired SIN.
If you can't find work before the expiration date, then you have to wait for your PGWP to renew you SIN, as employers can't put an expired SIN in the system.
My SIN expired after I applied for my PGWP but I didn't start working August 24th, a couple weeks after it expired. So I do think it is possible to employ someone with an expired SIN. I had to submit a couple documents showing I had submitted and was waiting for IRCC decision lol. But nonetheless, I lost some really good job offers when they found out I don't have my work permit yet :(
