What action will bring glory to God?

You're an employee of a particular big organization and part of your work requires working with external partners.

In the course of one particular partnership, the partner bends over backwards to accomodate the requests of your organisation, putting in many unaccounted man-hours and doing the best he can to clear beaureacracy on his side. Unfortunately, he is paid hourly and his accounted man-hours is low.

Further search into past partnerships found that a commercial (as opposed to the current ACADEMIC) partner in the same capacity doing less work but was paid double.

What action below would you do that will bring glory to God and why?

1) Report an inflated number of accounted man-hours by this new partner (although he already understands and accepts the lower figure) - it brings glory to God to fight for the underdog
2) Ignore it and continue on as agreed previously - your duty is simply to carry out your tasks
3) Report the accounted man-hours and mention the backbreaking work the man has done and doing your best to fight for more for your partner within your organization (knowing that it will simply be acknowledged in words with little corresponding monetary reward because everything has already been passed)
4) Other God-glorifying strategies?
