Coinbase accounts (for both of you) might work best for the actual payment transaction - it's easy to use and will track transaction history and such for you. Once you receive your pay you can decide if you want to keep the balance with Coinbase or another wallet (i.e., cold storage, paper, etc).
I don't think coinbase allows accounts outside the us or at least cannot allow withdrawals of fiat to any bank but us banks. They would be best for the OPs boss though as they allow for recurring purchases.
