If you leave the country and reenter on a tourist/business visa between WPs, your clock will be reset.
My wife had to leave to Canada between work permits (resigned from first job, waiting for second job's WP to come through) due to family emergency. She reentered on a six month visa to clear up some pending things and then went back before coming in again on the new WP, and when she applied for ILR the application was rejected even though the gap was only 2 months because she left the country and reentered the country as a visitor between WPs. She lost about 2 years because of this.
