Description:
The mentioned SELECT command raises Error Code: 1054. Unknown column 'ps.employeeId' in 'on clause'.

The script runs without an error is I remove the second table in the FROM clause

    ,
            tableFO AS `fo`

or replace the ON clause

        `wageAssessment`.`employeeId` = `ps`.`employeeId`

with

        `wageAssessment`.`employeeId` = 4

or when converting to using an explicit CROSS JOIN by replacing

        tablePS AS `ps`,
        tableFO AS `fo`

WITH

        tablePS AS `ps`
    CROSS JOIN
        tableFO AS `fo`

How to repeat:
CREATE TABLE tablePS (
	`id` INT UNSIGNED auto_increment,
    `employeeId` INT UNSIGNED,
    PRIMARY KEY `id` (`id`)
);

CREATE TABLE tableFO (
	`id` INT UNSIGNED auto_increment,
    PRIMARY KEY `id` (`id`)
);

CREATE TABLE tableWA (
	`id` INT UNSIGNED auto_increment,
    `employeeId` INT UNSIGNED,
    PRIMARY KEY `id` (`id`)
);

SELECT
    `ps`.`employeeId`
FROM
    tablePS AS `ps`
CROSS JOIN
    tableFO AS `fo`
LEFT JOIN
    tableWA AS `wa`
ON
    `wa`.`employeeId` = `ps`.`employeeId`;
