Forever. There are no laws governing this. Look at the question carefully, and always tell the truth. Employers have no tolerance for employees that lie to them. Once caught, the trust is gone forever.

For as long as the information is still accurate. Convictions don't expire, so if you are asked on an application if you were ever convicted of a crime, you have to say yes, unless your conviction is overturned or expunged.

You should always answer questions on an application for employment truthfully. Failure to do so may result in termination when the omission is discovered. Unless a conviction is pardoned or expunged you must report it. If you are applying for employment with a public entity or agency, you should report even expunged convictions because they will show up on a criminal background check by a public entity.
