In most cases yes, until such time as you advise them in writing of how you wish to be contacted such as "only contact me by mail" or "only contact me at the following phone number". However, depending on the type of debt being collected and the regulations in your area they may never be allowed to call you at work.
Debt collectors can contact people at their place of employment until that person request the agency/collector cease from doing so. Once the debtor has told a creditor/collector to no longer contact them at work the collector must do so. If after notice a collector continues such action they are in violation of the FDCPA and should be reported.
A collector may contact the person at his or her place of employment either by phone or in person. The collector may not interfere with the employee's work status or speak with any other person's about the matter. The debtor/employee can request the collector to "cease and desist" contact at his or her place of employment or in entirety. The debtor should send a written notice to the collector to cease all contact (home, place of employment, land line phone, cell phone, and any type of contact with family members). Once the collector receives such a notice, they must by law stop all collection attempts with the exception of notifying the debtor of a change of status of the account, such as a lawsuit filing.

"If a collector contacts you about a debt, you may want to talk to them at least once to see if you can resolve the matter - even if you don't think you owe the debt, can't repay it immediately, or think that the collector is contacting you by mistake. If you decide after contacting the debt collector that you don't want the collector to contact you again, tell the collector - in writing - to stop contacting you. Here's how to do that: Make a copy of your letter. Send the original by certified mail, and pay for a "return receipt" so you'll be able to document what the collector received. Once the collector receives your letter, they may not contact you again, with two exceptions: a collector can contact you to tell you there will be no further contact or to let you know that they or the creditor intend to take a specific action, like filing a lawsuit. Sending such a letter to a debt collector you owe money to does not get rid of the debt, but it should stop the contact. The creditor or the debt collector still can sue you to collect the debt. "

Yes, but after the initial contact the debtor can request not to be contacted at his or her place of business. If the creditor/collector continues to contact the debtor at their place of employment they are breaking FDPA laws and should be reported.

Yes. In fact, it is a violation of the federal Fair Debt Collection Practices Act for a debt collector to contact you at work if your employer disapproves and they are informed of this fact by you or your employer. You or the employee can tell the debt collector to stop. Simply interrupt him and say, "This is my work number. Do not call me here again." And then hang up. 99% of the time, that will take care of it.
