Slight caveat to this (at least in the courts where I've worked). If you come in with say, 3 years of experience but none of it with the courts, you'll come in as a JSP 13/2 instead of a JSP 13/1 (which would be just 2 years) or a JSP 14/1 (which would be 3 years, 2 years with the courts). You get the credit for all your years of experience, but because you can't go up a pay grade, they'll take you over a step.A.

I think (though am not sure) that they govern your raises within a particular grade (the 11 or 12 part). But I'm pretty sure they don't apply to term clerks, who are all paid at step 1 of their relevant grade. So it's the grade (11, 12, etc.) and the first column of the chart.
Similarly for the person asking about not being barred, you should end up going up a step to JSP 11/2 because you can't go up to JSP 12/1.
