UPDATE

I found the cause of the problem, the cause is MISPELLED the table Tbl_payroll_employee_basic it should be tbl_payroll_employee_baisc. So be sure to double check the spelling of all your tables.

Laravel supports aliases on tables and columns with AS. Try doing it with using alias before executing query and store it in a variable and use it in the query. Below is one working example of aliases in laravel.

$users = DB::table('some_very_very_long_table_name AS t')
           ->select('t.id AS uid')
           ->get();

Hope this helps.
