OPINION OF THE COURT BY

JUSTICE BARBER

This workers’ compensation appeal involves entitlement to temporary total disability (“TTD”) benefits during a period of light-duty work and application of the two multiplier, KRS 342.730(1)(c)2. The ALJ denied both. The Workers’ Compensation Board (“Board”) and the Court of Appeals affirmed. We affirm the denial of TTD benefits and reverse and remand with respect to the two multiplier, because our analysis here today convinces us to reconsider the holding in Chrysalis House, Inc. v. Tackett, 283 S.W.3d 671 (Ky.2009).
