I have to say, I think - from past experience - the smart thing to do was to take advantage of the fact that she had them over a barrel and ask for more money.
A bonus for the hours she intended to spend on the audit filing.
A pay increase to last the duration she's covering both positions. That would do two things: 1) compensate her properly, 2) encourage them to replace him sooner.
Working the extra hours on a project for your regular salary, or for just regular overtime pay, is for people you like.
I've learned that guilt doesn't work on companies, and this sort of thing comes back on you like a bear trap. Also, your quality of life while doing this goes down. Better to do what's best for yourself in these situations.
