In most cases, yes. There are a few limited exceptions. I work in a corporate mail room. Employees are specifically prohibited from receiving personal mail at work. Therefore all mail received at the office is considered business related until proven otherwise. I am authorized to open any mail that I need to in order to determine which department it should be directed to. If I happen to open something and later notice it does not belong to the business, no one is going to press charges.
