You will need a letter from employer that should list all days that you were out of the UK and the reason for those absences. And this includes annual leave. I don't think you should over-complicate things by mentioning about overtime etc. and confuse the caseworker. So if the letter just says something like (x date to y date: reason), it should be fine..
In the reason, it could be "annual leave"/"Work-related whatever". The only part you are worried about is exceeding a certain number. So perhaps you could also have some entries which say "x days without pay"...Others can comment on this, but I don't think unpaid leave is an issue as long as you are not on unpaid leave for more than 4 weeks.
Furthermore, annual leave number should not be HO concern as long as the job is genuine and all other requirements are met. So it is possible that someone might have 50 days or more of annual leave (which means it is paid). So if your employer has deemed the extra days that you took off as paid leave, you can leave it as paid leave without worrying that it exceeds a certain number..The only thing to make sure is that your "unpaid" leave does not exceed more than 4 weeks..my 2 cents
