yes employment visa allows all that. I don't think visa work that way. For working visa, if you live the country without applying for a re-entry permit, the remaining terms of your visa will become void as soon as you live. But with a re-entry permit it stays valid as long as you came back within the span of time the re-entry permit allows. If not then you need to apply a new visa to enter the country again.
Basically, you don't need to go back to your specific country to renew your visa. Just go to the immigration bureau , and renew. Re-entry permit can also be applied together with your visa and its validity is the same as your visa. So if your visa is one year then your re-entry permit is also one year.
Single re-entry permit is 3000yen and multiple is 6000yen. It practical to apply for a multiple cause its cheaper, that it if you plan to travel a lot within the span of your visa.
