Note that for ILR purposes absences refer to days you were absent from the UK. If you were never absent from the UK, during your 5 year residence then you can just leave the corresponding section in the SET(O) form blank.

You haven't mentioned what immigration category you will be applying for ILR under. Whether or not an employer letter is required will depend on if you were absent from the UK during the 5 years & the immigration category you will be applying under.

A simple one page letter by yourself stating that your absences were during Personal Holidays (paid time off), and other supporting documents such as payslips/banks statements for those periods, etc should be sufficient.

I highly doubt you will be enquired much about your total overall absence.
