For H1B-
Whether TPS is approved or denied you will have no effect on your H-1B status, as long as:
1. You continue to maintain valid H-1B status, and
2 Do not apply for TPS-based EAD.
Yes, employer can continue the "green card application process".

Reference: http://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/can-h1b-and-tps--without-ead--be-maintained-in-par-2246496.html

In the mean time, if you need EAD in future, you can always apply for it.

What do I do if I want an Employment Authorization Document, after I have already registered or re-registered for TPS?
If you have already registered or re-registered for TPS, you will need to submit Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization, with the appropriate
fee, if applicable, or a fee waiver request, along with your most recent receipt notice or approval notice for Form I-821, Application for Temporary Protected
Status. These forms can be accessed from our website at www.uscis.gov/forms.

Why are we making it so complicated, maintain your current status and apply for TPS. Those who already have an EAD do not apply for TPS EAD until the previous EAD is expired.
