KW is right, employment-related tests are not observed unless youve been suspected of tampering or if the test is a followup/return to duty.

If a direct observation collection is conducted, the observer (who must be the same gender as the donor) is to be inside the bathroom stall with the donor and directly watch the flow of urine exit the donors body and into the sample cup. Under DHHS regulations, the use of mirrors and cameras are not permitted. There has to be a live observer inside the stall with the donor.

If the person is just standing outside the stall, then this is known as a monitored collection. Monitored collections can only be used in multi-stall bathroom situations where water sources cannot be easily secured. The duty of the monitor is to prevent others from entering the restroom during collection, and to deter the donor from using unsecured water sources to tamper with the urine sample. The monitor cannot be inside the stall with the donor.
