If DateTime Property is defined as (can contain null) :

public DateTime? WorkedDate { get; set; }

Use this format:

grid.Column("WorkedDate", "Last Worked On",
   format: (item) => item.WorkedDate != null 
   ? item.WorkedDate.ToString("MM/dd/yy") : "", canSort: true)

Otherwise if it is defined as below (can't be null), it will have either actual date or .MinDate as the default.

public DateTime WorkedDate { get; set; }

Use format:

grid.Column("WorkedDate", "Last Worked On",
   format: (item) => item.WorkedDate != DateTime.MinValue ? 
   item.WorkedDate.ToString("MM/dd/yy") : "", canSort: true)
