Yes, you are still a PR even with an expired card so you are fully legal to work.

Leon, what will an employer ask as proof of residency or right to work in this situation?

No, they will just ask for your SIN. If you have a temporary SIN that starts with 9, they would assume that you are on a work permit so they may ask to see that you have an open work permit and are legal to work for them. If you have a normal SIN, they shouldn't ask at all.
