whats the meaning of continuous employment

[eager2learn]

Dear All,
I would like to inquire what exactly is the meaning of continuous employment for 5 years as ILR precondition. Is it the continuation of work visa or continuation of actual work? If someone changes job, how much gap is allowed between the leaving of that job to joining in the new job?

Also if someone has a gap in work visa i.e. his visa finished in march for his old job but for his new employer to get the license and issue a COS it took a month longer, he applied from his home country and get the visa in april. Will it be considered "discontinued" then and his clock for 5 years restarted?
