I have been promoted from a gaming employee to a key employee, do I have to pay the full application fee for a key employee or just pay the difference between the two application fees?

Can Key Employees keep their license or credential if they resign from their current employer?

A Key employee license is portable, a temporary credential is not. If a licensed key employee is offered a position by another licensed gaming entity, his or her key employee license can be used so long as the Gaming Control Board is notified of the hiring by the Licensed Entity. If the key employee is in a pending status at the time of separation and seeks employment at another licensed entity, the employee will need to submit a new Multi-Jurisdictional Personal History Disclosure and Pennsylvania Supplement Form through the new employer.
