Once your OPT expires, you will no longer have the right to work in the US. The fact that your H-1B petition is still pending does not give you employment authorization. I note that U.S.C.I.S. recently lifted the suspension on premium processing for FY 2019  cap cases that were filed in April 2018. You and your employer may decide to take advantage of this.
