Even without Home office reference number/ID the employer can check the right of work by using employer helpline probably through date of birth, NINO number or other details.

In which case, I would switch as soon as possible. It would be inadvisable to travel outside of the UK until she has been issued with FLR(M).
Thank you for the advice

Hello,

I have a Tier 2 Genera visa that is sponsored for three years.

During my extension can my employer state 3 years in the CoS which will bring my total stay under Tier 2 to 6 years and be granted by the Home Office?
