I think that you have to start all over again. To renew a WP you MUST apply before the day of expiering!

You could try getting your work permit renewed before you leave. Since work permits are no longer tied to your permit to stay they might give you one good for a year.

If not then it means applying for a new one when you come back.

You can suspend your WP when you are away. You need to show proof of what date you come back to the country. I did this last year when I went back to my home country.
