It is not illegal to take another employees paycheck to them if it is just being delivered. Legal issues would arise if the check was taken and not delivered or if it was fraudulently used for other purposes.

Can you open someone elses mail when you live at the same address?

In the UK it is not an offence to open mail addressed to someone else.In UK the Post Office Act 1953 prohibits the opening of 'any postal packet' which ought to have been delivered to another person.An offence only arises if it is opened 'wilfully and maliciously' with 'intent to injure another person'.Furthermore the Postal Services Act 2000 prevents postal workers from interferring with post during transit.So in law yes, in practice no, since you would have to prove that the opener was doing it maliciously.
