Tier 2 Migrants no longer need continuous employment throughout the 5-year qualifying period for settlement eligibility.

There is always light at the end of the tunnel!
Tier 2 Migrants will no longer require to have been continuously employed throughout the 5-year qualifying period to be eligible for settlement.
Previously, the rules stated only breaks of employment less than 60 days could be disregarded.
However, since the Home Office is notoriously slow in issuing curtailment notifications, this may lead to some Tier 2 holders gaining additional time to change employment within the UK whilst still qualifying for indefinite leave to remain.
This will definitely bring a sigh of relief to many.
