Waalykum assalam,
According to both Grand Ayatollahs Sayyid al-Sistani and Sayyid al-Khamenei (may the Almighty prolong their lives):
On the basis that the work entails something forbidden in terms of forbidden looking and touching, it is forbidden for him to do this work. As such, the wage is invalid, and so he is not entitled to the wage for his work.
May the Almighty grant you tawfeeq in all of your affairs.
