Updating Record Fields - Variable Does Not Exist Error

I currently am working on creating an Apex Class that initiially pulls a specific set of Placements (jstcl__Placement__c) and puts them in a list. 
It then takes that list of Placement Ojects and edits a relevant field called TimecardEnddateAudit__c field. I keep getting errors saying that the field jstcl__Timesheet_Period__c that exists in some of my if logic does not exist. Logically it should edit fields according to the logic:" If the jstcl__Timesheet_Period__c field is equal to 'Weekly Split' then add .5, else add 1. 
public class CamstimecardEndDateAudit{
public static void auditTimeCards(){

List<sObject> placements = [SELECT jstcl__Placement__r.Name
                            FROM jstcl__TG_Timesheet__c 
                            WHERE jstcl__Placement__r.ts2__Status__c IN ('Active') 
                             AND jstcl__Week_Ending__c = LAST_N_DAYS:15
                             AND jstcl__Status__c = 'Pending'];
                             
    for(List<sObject> A : placements){

        if(A.jstcl__Timesheet_Period__c = 'Weekly Split'){
        
        TimecardEndDateAudit__c = TimecardEndDateAudit__c + 0.5;}
        
        else{
        
        TimecardEndDateAudit__c = TimecardEndDateAudit__c ++;
}
}
}}

Your Select statement should is missing the field jstcl__Timesheet_Period__c. Add that under Select and the error will goaway.

When you need to perform conditionals you need to query for the fields that you need. 

Update the SOQL
List<jstcl__Placement__c> placements = [SELECT jstcl__Placement__r.Name, jstcl__Timesheet_Period__c ,TimecardEndDateAudit__c
                            FROM jstcl__TG_Timesheet__c 
                            WHERE jstcl__Placement__r.ts2__Status__c IN ('Active') 
                             AND jstcl__Week_Ending__c = LAST_N_DAYS:15
                             AND jstcl__Status__c = 'Pending'];
If you still want to use List<sobject> see https://developer.salesforce.com/forums/?id=906F00000008waAIAQ for other ways to query what you need.

Add jstcl__Timesheet_Period__c  firld on you query, then only you will be able to perform any operation on that field.
