Boole also works
h[t_] = Sin[t];
g1[t_] = Piecewise[{{0, t < 0}, {2, 0 <= t < 1}}, 1];
g2[t_] = 2 Boole[0 <= t < 1] + Boole[1 <= t];
y1[t_] = Assuming[{Element[t, Reals]},
Integrate[h[t - s] g1[s], {s, 0, t}] // Simplify];
y2[t_] = Assuming[{Element[t, Reals]},
Integrate[h[t - s] g2[s], {s, 0, t}] // Simplify];
y1[t] === y2[t]
True
