ILR Continuous Employment

I'm sponsoring my wife and we are coming up to her application for ILR Set(M). I have been working continuously with my current employer for 4 years earning above the required minimum.
We will be applying mid October for ILR therefore I will be submitting payslips for the 6 months up to and including the end of September.
Now.. here is where my query is. I have just been offered and accepted another job paying more than my current employment. The problem is that my last working day is Friday 28.09.18 and my new job commences Wednesday 03/10/18. There are 2 days that I am technically not working. - Is this a problem ? Is there leeway on this.
Also if my last payslip is the end of September do I even need to include in the application about my new job ?
Any advise would be most welcome

in this case, the caseworker may ask for payslip of your new job which you cannot produce. If possible, better wait until you have your new payslip, thus apply on NOV.
2 days gap between employments is NOT the matter, as it won't affect your annual income.

Thanks,
We have to apply in October, what I do have is my contract for the new job and I can also get a letter from them confirming my employment and salary and hopefully this will be sufficient. I also know its a bit of a crossover between meeting the financial requirement from Category A to Category B. I'm now assuming that I will have to meet the requirement under Category B ?

However, you still need prove of income of your new employment, contract and employer letter is NOT enough. Because they are not proved you are paid. Therefore you still need bank statement and payslip of your new employment.

How do I then get round this... will they ask me to produce an additional document and give me a reasonable period of time to do this?

No. don't do this. you are risking to be rejected and the HO may grant your partner 10 year route alternatively, on the ground that you cannot meet the financial requirement. at the point of the application, if the documents cannot be satisfied, they can just reject.
