Employer letter for Leave

[himpa]

Hi,
In Set (O) form it states that any leave be it annual leave need to have employer letter for Tier 2 applicants, Is there any other option other than employer letter to support my leave, as it is very difficult that they will provide these letters.
My leave in any 12 month period is less than 180 days.

Thanks

I was granted a work permit in Sep 2008, I worked for this company until July 2013, During this period I have been out of this country for a total of 82 days. I am struggling for documentation on this, the best I could show is my stamps on my passport and my flight tickets for these periods. Finding employment records is difficult (lets say its not available).

In july 2013, I moved to a new employer on a Tier2 visa, I have no leave of absence from UK since them.

What are my alternatives ?

I am looking to apply for ILR soon.

The expectation is
245 SD - B. A letter from the employer detailing the purpose and period of absences in connection with the employment, including periods of annual leave. Where the absence was due to a serious or compelling reason, a personal letter from the applicant which includes full details of the reason for the absences and all original supporting documents in relation to those reasons - e.g. medical certificates, birth/death certificates, information about the reasons which led to the absence from the UK

Thanks.
