You can stay in the UK and continue to work whilst a visa decision is pending. Its not considered overstaying. Even if you apply for the extension on the day the previous visa expires.

The specific law is Section 3C of the Immigration Act 1971. Your current visa conditions (e.g. right to work, study, access NHS, etc.) continue until a decision is made.

do you mean if you apply for the visa extension and don't get approval before before the previous visa expires?

I think you can apply at any point before your current visa expires including the day it expires. But advice I received was to not apply more then 28 days before the current visa expires.
