In the US, you are not obligated to reveal this information, as we've all committed various crimes at time, but never been prosecuted or convicted for it, such as jaywalking, running red lights, speeding, etc.. If you have been convicted of a crime and it is still on your criminal record, then you must disclose it, as they will find out anyway. If the conviction has been expunged due to the length of time passed or you petitioned the court to have it expunged, then it is as though it never happened; it's not part of your criminal record anymore and there is no obligation or reason to disclose it. Be sure to get a copy of your criminal record before applying for a job to be sure there's nothing there, or that any convictions have been expunged if you asked the court to do that.
In the UK, if you have crimes against vunerable adults or children you must disclose these, but otherwise there is no obligation to do so. Under the rehabilitation of offenders act 1974 you can answer "No" to such questions, depending on the specific circumstances of the crime.
Read the rehabilitation of offenders act 1974 legislation and consult an employment law attorney first. http://www.lawontheweb.co.uk/rehabact.htm

Will an employer find out about house arrest and can they fire you for it?
Court records are public records in the United States. Whether or not an employer will check those records is another story. An employer can find out about a conviction. Whether or not an employer will find out about a conviction is a different issue. The fact that following your conviction you were held under house arrest is irrelevant. The nature of the punishment is irrelevant. The fact that you were convicted is the relevant issue. Was there a deal made that would get the conviction removed from your record? Was that part of any agreement? It is illegal for an employer to fire you in the United States because you were arrested.
