This article develops a multitask agency model in which the agent has to make investments for producing both contractible output and noncontractible intermediate input in a dynamic framework when the principal can fire the agent in the long-term wage contract. The model predicts that if the diversion cost for the principal is sufficiently small, the principal prefers the long-term wage contract without firing rather than the short-term wage contract or the long-term wage contract with firing. However, if the diversion cost for the principal becomes larger, the principal may be more likely to prefer the short-term wage contract or the long-term wage contract with firing. Furthermore, if the agent's bargaining power increases, the more likely the long-term wage contracts are chosen.
