If you limit the objects you are returning to only the fields that you want to display, it will work properly.

public static IQueryable GetActiveEmployees_Grid(string Period)
{
    DataContext Data = new DataContext();
    var Employees = (from c in DataSystem_Records
                     where c.Period == Period
                     orderby c.DataSystem_Employees.LName
                     select c.DataSystem_Employees.FName, 
                            c.DataSystem_Employees.LName, 
                            c.ID).Distinct();

    return Employees;
}
