Are there any open positions in the company you think you would be qualified for?
You could ask for re-deployment to that position but then be aware the Ts & Cs and pay etc might then be related to the new position not the old.
If that's not an option, make sure to get agreement from HR and for your line manager to be made aware that you can take time off to attend interviews etc during your notice period.
Well, I'm in my 40's so I am into the 2nd half of my working life! I would prefer to stay with the company though, the length of time isn't really an issue to me.6 years is a nice time to move on. The days of staying long term in jobs is past and will work against you later in life.
So negotiate the best package you can. I'd start with 6 weeks pay per year of service as many US multinationals pay in that region. Some in pharma sector even more. Do a bit of research in advance and of course push for full salary basis using your actual commission history.

Thanks for the info. What I don't understand is how I can negotiate here. I mean, they only have to offer me two weeks statutory minimum, right? I just don't get where I can ask for more - on what grounds? What would\could they do if I simply refuse their offer??
I agree with you though, I was going in looking for -
6 weeks per year (on full salary)
Payment for untaken holidays this year
Payment for outstanding commission bonus from Q1 (anything over target is saved until year end and paid in January).
Is any of this unreasonable or are there any other suggestions?
This document showing settlements may be useful although a bit out of date. Look for examples of other major companies and be prepared to show them.
You don't want to go to the WRC but if you did you would get more than statutory for a profitable MN company doing a restructure. They know that very well.
No need for a solicitor.Thanks for the heads-up on that, much appreciated.
I supposed that I should engage a solicitor as well or is that unnecessary? I assume that it will come down to the cost...
