Devils Advocate might say-
If the company you work for found a working method that if put into place earned them $20,000 more a month and all they had to do was ask one of their loyal employees (who worries about his job in this market) to do a little bit more work for three months to get it implemented. Would they share the rewards and earnings with one or all of the employees?? My guess would be NO.
Company loyalty to their employees is almost totally dead in today's world as far as I can tell. However that shouldn't affect your decision in this case. Document the entire process and compile e-mails and internal correspondence well. It should be clear that you are the originator of the profit increasing change to the paper work. consider it a feather in your cap but do not expect any big thanks or compensation. Use this for when you go to the table for a raise or include mention of the profit increasing boost on your resume in your list of successful achievements during your employment with said company.
Sadly this is why many companies stagnate because they crush the go get it attitude and smart thinking of many people so do what is needed to hold on to your positive attitude. Whatever keeps you engaged cause resenting the people you work for is a recipe for a miserable place to go to everyday to work. Life is too short for that.
This may or may not apply to the industry you are working in and it is just an opinion after all.
