Re: Ghost Employee
Grants gained in play form in-game actions probably shouldn't cost any points (really it's just a kind of "loot"). Alternately you can spend Money for Points and explain it as "I got a grant!" as opposed to "I won the lottery!". I'm not really seeing how grant money is any different from any other source of money in this way.

In the same way, there were some semi-feudal copyhold tenancies in the UK whereby people held land in return for customary service, and by the time of their abolition in the 1920s the surviving duties were often fairly trivial (often in terms of attending on the monarch if they visited somewhere that they had no reason to go or delivering a trivial amount of some substance such as hay to somewhere). |

Re: Ghost Employee
Firstly, like I said earlier, I still don't see a problem with using Rules Exception per level to exceed the cap. Secondly grants aren't Independent Income, you have to both apply and qualify for them and they are usually one time (although you may continue to qualify for them) this is either a job (University Researcher, Undergrad Student) with an annual rather than monthly paycheck or Spending Points for Money.
