Gap in Employment- ILR repurcussions

One of my very good friends has a prospective question on ILR.

She is currently on Tier 2 visa (will complete 3 years in Sep 2012). Unfortunately her employment ends with this visa and she is in the process of looking out for a new position.

She has a couple of interviews lined up and hopes that she will crack and get a job hopefully anytime soon.

Our question is:

Will she be okay in terms of eligibility if there is a gap of 2-3 payslips in her 5 years employment?

Is it okay as long as she shows employment in the last 2 years of her economic activity in the 5th year of her applying for ILR which will be mostly in 2014-15.

I know that there are many ifs and buts in this case, but we are trying to look into all kinds of scenarios to ensure that her ILR is not affected.

Many thanks for hearing me out and can people give their comments pls?

Thanks
