Staying out of UK on TIER2 and the affect on ILR?

Hi Guys,

I'm on TIER2 General visa. I travel to a EEA country frequently to visit my family and friends. (I have schengen multiple entry visa valid for 6 months with 60 days of stay), After end of this visa I might get another 6 months multiple entry visa (If granted)

I'm hoping to get ILR at the end of my 5 years on TIER2 (If its not abolished) but still at the end of 5 years I will be qualified under long stay (10 years legal stay in UK)

My question by spending time outside UK for more than 60-90 days will it affect my ILR? How long am I allowed to stay out of the country on TIER2? and also does is it has anything to do with a continuous stay? Say If I stay out of UK for 90 days but not on a continuous base is it ok?

Thank you
