if you make a claim which is false, in order to obtain a job / insurance etc, it is a pecuniary advantage & therefore criminal (england & wales). omission is not, unless you are falsely representing yourself eg, the employer asked, & your omission misled to the extent you got the job as a result, when you woulnt otherwise. its not often dealt with nowadays by police

First of all there is no criminal offense here at all. If you "fluffed" your resume or application then it's up to the employer to find out. If they check dates of employment and they don't match, then you could be terminated with cause. If no one checks the dates then you will be fine.

Legally, it isn't a crime to withhold such information from an employer, although usually there's no reason not to tell them. If you had lied about having experience or expertise which influenced them to give you your job they could dismiss you for providing false information, but not telling them about a previous job which is irrelevant to your new job shouldn't cause any problems.

if you've worked for the company and its affiliates before, you have to disclose that, they have records that will find out if you are not being truthful. I would simply ask them what they plan on doing b/c they could even sue you for non disclosure as well.

In essence, no it isn't, but it depends where you are, what company you are applying to, and what the application you filled out said.
You may not be charged criminally but they can certainly just not hire you, or fire you if you are already hired.
